The challenge.
Symbio teamed up with Sport & Ideas - Sports Marketing and Events Management to create and develop the branding and communication for the unique charity event ENERGY FOR SWIM.
In order to do so, three key elements had to be taken into account: First of all the brand and visibility of the founder and organizer of the event Energy Standard Group. Secondly, the sportive character of the event and thirdly its charity purpose.

The strategy.
BRANDING
We developed logo proposals based on the logo of ENERGY STANDARD GROUP, the event title ENERGY FOR SWIM, and the claim CHAMPIONS FOR CHARITY. A perfect mix of sport and solidarity was created in which the founder’s and organizer's logo was perfectly incorporated through the “visualization” of water by designing a rippled water reflection.
Then, we created the visual identity which included a corporate kit, PR and press material, event totems, passes, and online material such as banners. The graphical elements for the TV broadcastings were also developed by us.

COMMUNICATION & ADVERTISING
We created the imagery around four different visuals, in order to cover various channels, from the press to the web, social networks, and TV. The ad campaigns were published in Italy’s three main newspapers (on/offline); GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT (3 times) I TUTTOSPORT I CORRIERE DELLO SPORT. The international TV coverage reached more than 70 countries through live, replay, and highlights on 8 TV channels including Fox Sports, SportKlub, FloSports, ElevenSports, and Sport1. The graphic design of digital ads was used for interactive campaigns on social networks, creating 2 conversion funnels for brand awareness (1,297,938 reaches on Facebook) and sales conversion (69% of its capacity per day).
