The story

How we did it

The challenge

DHL’s sponsorship footprint was firmly in sport. The business wanted to reach audiences beyond the sporting arena and win SME leads through an entertainment partnership - something exciting, fun and adventurous.

The strategy

We struck a multi-year deal with the inaugural Grand Tour, giving DHL a platform to show off its logistics talents - from rebranding aircraft and airlifting flat-pack vehicles into Mongolia to the hilarious ‘yellow box challenge’, with the added pull of the global Amazon brand.
