How to share your brand story on a global scale
The Challenge
Ahead of the 2022 season of FIA World Rallycross Championship, our client wanted to share the news of their unique and never-before-seen Championship entry with the world, placing them firmly ahead of the pack going into the inaugural all-electric season. The motorsport arm of French company Green Corp Konnection had previously taken a step away from rallycross awaiting its transition away from ICE - having initially founded GCK Motorsport in the rallycross paddock, it was now time to come back with a bang!
Having retrofitted a rally legend, the Lancia Delta Integrale, GCK Exclusiv-e had previously launched a road car version called the Lancia Delta Evo-e. Now, GCK were keen to develop a rallycross version of their retrofit and celebrate the motorsport history of the iconic original Integrale that had inspired their e-retrofitting business.
We were asked to share the news with fans and critics of the e-volution alike.
So how did it all come together?
The Solution
We used our PR and partner network to gain coverage in top automotive and lifestyle publications across the globe, including TopGear and HYPEBEAST.
The press release was shared in both English and French, with some publications creating additional translations.
The press coverage was reinforced by social media posting and engagement around the release of the news across GCK Motorsport and, President of Green Corp Konnection and driver, Guerlain Chicherit's own channels.
Chicherit's tweet engaging with professional racing driver Romain Grosjean performed especially well.
