News: Blazinstar go the extra mile for Sport Relief

Miscellaneous NewsCelebrating one of the UK’s biggest years of sport, the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile is back and fast approaching. To get the entire country together and proactive, Sport Relief has embarked on a number of partnerships, including collaborating with strategic experiential marketing specialist, Blazinstar Experiential to encourage sign-ups and raise cash to help change the lives of vulnerable people across the UK and the world’s poorest countries.

Sport Relief brand ambassadors will reach out to families across six high footfall shopping centres, communicating key messages to the target audience and encouraging them to get involved and sign up to one of the flagship Sport Relief Mile Events, no matter how fit they are.

A skilled pair of performers will also help to ensure the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile sign-up experience can easily be spotted. Inspired by the main Sport Relief adverts, a Panto Horse and Milo will be featured alongside the installation, adding the fun element into the mix and most of all increasing customer interactions with the brand.

Dave Williams, Senior Account Manager from Blazinstar Experiential says  “Our tactic is awareness led, trying to encourage a family involvement targeting parents in shopping centres, encouraging them to sign the whole family up to Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile. The campaign is a great opportunity for Blazinstar Experiential to support the high profile charity, and we are proud to be involved in raising awareness of the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile through an Experiential Marketing strategy, and translating the messaging across the UK to encourage participation’’.
