The International Canoe Federation (ICF) has selected Redtorch to deliver a global campaign to engage recreational paddlers prior to Tokyo 2020..
“One particular area of interest for ICF right now is connecting with recreational fans across canoe, kayak, and also stand-up paddleboard (SUP) which is one of the fastest growing sports in the world,” said ICF Digital Media Manager Adam Collins.
“As an international federation during a global pandemic, it’s vital we encourage people to explore new ways to exercise. This is just one of the things we hope to achieve with the campaign.”
“This is a really exciting brief and we are looking forward to developing a campaign that will help ICF develop its brand beyond sport into the world of active lifestyle, travel and recreation,” said Redtorch Creative Director Matt Weiner.
“This is a fantastic example of the way our data, strategy and creative teams work with organisations to identify and deliver audience growth.”
The campaign is set to launch in February 2021 and run until May 2021.
