Ericsson Racing Team
Client: Ericsson
Agency: PS Communication
Overview / Objectives
In August 2007, PS Communication won the Ericsson Racing Team pitch pending the 2008-2009 Volvo Ocean Race. PS Communication was invited to an agency pitch in competition with Jack Morton and Octagon. The assignment is three-fold:
Communications platform: The "On Board" concept will be used in all event-related communication during the Volvo Ocean Race worldwide in different channels
Strategy / Solution
Namegiving ceremony: The namegiving ceremony for Ericsson 3 in Barcelona February 12th marked the start of an intensifying phase in communicating Ericsson's commitment to the Volvo Ocean Race. The naming ceremony took place during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, one of the most important events for Ericsson in 2008 since most of their major clients were on site.
Results
Redesign of mobile pavilions: In each stopover around the world Ericsson will use a pavilion to host meetings, seminars, technical showcases and press conferences. To maximize customer experience the pavilions will be conceptualized and redesigned. The new design is integrated with the theme On board and will be adapted to present Ericsson's latest technology in the best possible way.
