Cooperation period: March-September 2024

Place: 2x Wrocław, Poznań, Warsaw

The purpose of cooperation

The main goal of the cooperation was to increase the visibility and awareness of the Medicover Sport and Well Fitness brands in Poland, especially in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. The Medicover brand exists in the minds of consumers, but mainly in the medical services industry. The partnership in sports events and events promoting a healthy lifestyle combined perfectly with the goal of exposing new industry branches – i.e. sports programs and the Well Fitness gym network. Additionally, the cooperation contributed to the direct activation and integration of employees who willingly took part in Bieg Firmowy and FRRuuu.

Purpose realization and strategy

The strategic partnership during Bieg Firmowy n included a number of brand exposure activities before, during and after the event. Logos and information content with the partners’ logos were present in promotional materials on the website and social media. The Medicover Sports and Well Fitness logos also appeared on the starting shirts of all participants.

During the event, the Well Fitness trainer led a warm-up from the main stage for all participants, and every 30 minutes, after each change in the company relay, professional stretching was conducted. Similarly, in the case of Bieg Krasnala for children. A great activity building a relationship with the brand even before the actual event was a series of preparatory trainings.

The supporting FRR partnership consisted of implementing a number of online marketing services, but also, following the success of Bieg Firmowy, preparatory training was conducted. During the FRR event, a Well Fitness zone was prepared in each city offering: coaching and diet consultations, body composition measurement on the InBody machine, competitions with prizes and a professional warm-up with a trainer 30 minutes before each start. In Poznań and Warsaw, an additional Medicover Sport zone was also created with the offer of BMI measurements and muscle rolling training.

Challenges during implementation

The challenge was very positive – the training sessions were so popular that registration had to be introduced, divided into two groups, beginner and advanced.

Effects of cooperation

The effect of the cooperation between Medicover Sport and Well Fitness was noticeable and felt by the participants both during and long before the event. A series of preparatory training sessions allowed for warming up and familiarizing the brand even before the start of the competition, and the quality of the proposed classes was a showcase in itself.

During the events, warm-ups and stretching were conducted from the main stage. Attractive zones were prepared with health consultations and a place to relax. And the direct effect, strengthening the bond with the brand of current Medicover Sport clients, was the FRRuuu offer dedicated to them.
