Samsung Hope Relay<br />

The Challenge<br />

To leverage Samsung’s investment as<br />

official sponsor of the Olympic Torch<br />

Relay. Samsung wished to build brand<br />

equity through individual experience<br />

and reach beyond attendees to relay<br />

participants plus spectators in the <strong>UK</strong><br />

and 10 other countries in order to give<br />

everyone the chance to be part of the<br />

Games.<br />

The Solution<br />

To build a personalised app experience<br />

to encourage participation.<br />

<strong>Velti</strong> created an app that allowed users<br />

to run, walk or cycle, and track via GPS<br />

their miles covered while raising money<br />

for charity. In order to maximise reach,<br />

the app was developed for Android,<br />

iPhone and Samsung bada, as well as<br />

share and monitor personal and team<br />

success through Facebook.<br />

The Result<br />

In the <strong>UK</strong>, Samsung donated £530,317<br />

to children’s charities ‘Kids Company’<br />

and ‘International Inspiration’. The<br />

app was downloaded 369,454 times<br />

(122,670 in the <strong>UK</strong>) with donations from<br />

48,386 people in 11 countries (the <strong>UK</strong>,<br />

France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Poland,<br />

Hungary, Serbia, Russia, Brazil and<br />

Belgium). Between them they covered<br />

over one million kilometres.<br />
