Overview

Description

To challenge the sun where it’s exposure time is the longest during the year, in Sweden during the summer solstice, where the sun never sets during 96 hours, non-stop.

Execution

A strategy in 4 steps including:

o a contest: run a sweepstake to offer a runner the opportunity to be part of Sunset Relay by athletes' side (one winner per country)

o a teasing about the race until live event, disseminating news to sustain the interest, and collect e-mails to activate people later.

o the Sunset Relay with a live cover during the 5 days of the race

o a long-tail strategy taking advantage of the media impact of the activation, enlightening the product and the cause.

Outcome

The race was broadcasted live in 7 countries on social networks: Youtube, Periscope, twitter and Instagram and on the dedicated website www.sunsetrelay.com.

o 9 million people watched the race live

o 15 million people were reached through the social neworks accounts (Sunset Relay, athletes, runners, ECL, Garnier, Swedish tourism office…)

o 5 million Twitter impressions combining protection messages and encouragements to the athletes… which prove that together, we can fight the dangers of the sun and the risks of skin cancer.
