Brief
Working alongside OBS pushing live TV to BT Sport and online on YouTube, Henley wanted some behind the scene videos to help drive traffic online while also raising the profile of their Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages.
Henley are very precious of their high quality brand and image plus they ran a #ThisIsWhyWeRow hashtag leading up to and through the event - so content needed to fit both of these.
Result
We not only provided several videos per day, but also social photography shared directly to a WhatsApp group allowing Henley to post high quality photography through the week and on Finals Day owning their visual message with reaction photos shared moments after races finished.
On top of nailing the tone, Henley the live broadcast was watched more and longer than previous years & BT Sport reported some great numbers as well.
