neste wide 1

Task

Raising interest

Neste had sponsored WRC races for 20 years. However, the popularity of the sport had declined over the years, especially amongst young urbanites: WRC races were perceived as a redneck sport.

After all, few urbanites would bother to travel hours to see the races. So how to make the sponsorship relevant and racing exciting again?

Solution

See you in Helsinki

We brought the race from the woods to central Helsinki. We created a special event where iconic driver legends raced the current WRC teams.

Superson created the concept, brokered the sponsorship deals and executed the 20 000 people event, including PR, advertising, digital solutions and social media.
