Eurosport – PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games..
With a mission to inspire and engage a younger audience, DixonBaxi partnered with Eurosport to deliver its Games-time campaign, taking strong cultural cues from the South Korean location of the Games. Injecting a ‘K-pop’ spirit of hyper-neon colours and vibrancy into the brand experience, they created a radically different cross-platform identity – the antithesis to the typical frost bitten white winter imagery – transforming the entire Eurosport brand into Games-mode over the fortnight of the games. As the first fully digital first Games across Europe, it demanded a suite of tools that would withstand the rigour of every mobile touchpoint. DixonBaxi crafted everything for Eurosport from social kits, to graphic systems designed for maximum mobile legibility.
Hailed as the first ‘digital Olympics,’ Discovery/Eurosport’s hosting of the PyeongChang Olympic Games across all platforms has achieved a staggering 58% total European population viewership, with 4.5 billion video views and 1.7 billion total hours of video watched.
