We are delighted to announce that the #PowerOfRespect campaign, created by Redtorch for the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), has been nominated for two awards at the 2024 European Content Awards.
- Outreach Campaign of the Year
- Multilingual Content Campaign of the Year
The European Content Awards celebrate excellence in content marketing and creation from across Europe, rewarding agencies that produce innovative, exceptional content that attracts, informs, engages, and retains audiences.
Redtorch worked with the AIU to launch the #PowerOfRespect campaign at the World Athletics Championships Budapest 2023, starring some of the sport’s biggest names such as Faith Kipyegon, Eliud Kipchoge and Yulimar Rojas. The campaign goals? To inspire the athletics community to connect with the AIU and help protect the sport’s integrity.
‘Integrity’ in sport might sound complicated but our message was simple: respect is the best way to protect the sport we love; respect for yourself, respect for others, respect for the rules. The campaign was visualised through the universal symbol of the fist bump – something never lost in translation.
Redtorch provided us valuable strategic advice and helped us bring it to life. The message #PowerOfRespect has resonated very well with our truly global athletics community
AIU Head of Education, Aditya Kumar.
