Wimbledon > Activative’s Top 5 ‘Ground-Breaking’ Campaigns From The Championships

This might be the 140th Championships at Wimbledon – a tournament famous worldwide for its old school traditions- but its success is built on blending history and heritage with innovation and technology.

 

The same goes for much of the tournament’s marketing: this year sees innovative, cutting edge and high-tech initiatives from the likes of IBM, Evian and the AELTC itself.

 

Here are five of our favourite ground-breaking Wimbledon campaigns from the last decade…

 

1: IBM ‘Seer’ > 2010

A mobile initiative that let you see though walls –bringing super powers to life.

 

2: Evian #BallHunt > 2012

Kicked off the sportbiz marketing ticket treasure hunt trend.

 

3: Stella Artois > ‘Fly Like Rufus (The Hawk)’ > 2014

At the leading edge of the global virtual reality deluge.

 

4: LTA > ‘Go Hit It’ > 2016

Weather-based geo-targeting – how British and how Wimbledon!

 

5: Robinsons > ‘Imagine – Worth The Wait’ > 2013?

An outpouring of emotion as a nation’s 77 year wait finally comes to an end – thanks Andy!
