The Challenge for UBS





To leverage its existing Sailing commitment in the
Americas Cup Challenge.
To emphasize the strong link between the world of
sailing and business.
To communicate its vision to key decision makers, on
a global level, through a multi-platform media vehicle.
To reflect UBS brand values through an innovative
and creative media solution to a top leveled target
group
To install a genuine long-term partnership with CNN.7
The Solution


CNN offered UBS a unique, tailor-made package. We created Inside
Sailing, a multi-platform editorial concept, taking a news-based approach to
all areas of sailing - the sport, the technology, the human interest and
the industry.
The Inside Sailing activity runs on-air, on-line and in print, including:
- Inside Sailing programmes - Each show combines the sport of sailing, with
human interest angles and business-related features. Presented by sailing
correspondent Lou James, with Becky Anderson and Liz George reporting
on the major business stories

The Inside Sailing programmes, highlights and updates have been designed
to stimulate sailing awareness towards the Americas Cup in February 2003.
All the on-air and on-line activities are promoted through a heavy marketing
and PR campaign all year around.

The Package
UBS asked us to develop an online and offline package to promote
their association with sailing.
The four cornerstones of the positioning on all media plattforms were:
• People
• Sport
• Business
• Technology
