Challenge:The biggest sportive brand from Latin America needed to be in the release of the seat of the Olympics of 2016. The brand, sponsor of the Brazilian Olympic Comité for ten years, knew other companies that are not present in sports, would try to use the event to their advantage.Goal:Act fast with a high impact ad that would make the most important people in the country reply the message, in the same time they would give it credibility.Strategy:Packages were sent to 40 important people; among these were journalists, celebrities and bloggers. On October 2rd, Rio de Janeiro won the contest. Five minutes after the announcement, the package arrived in people’s house, works and even restaurants where the chosen personalities were. On the top of the box there was only one sentence: 'I already knew it'. Inside, a manifesto from the brand and a letter registered by a notary pubic dated the previous day, prooving and explaining why the brand already knew Brazil would win.

The package also included a personalised t-shirt and stickers with the sentence 'I knew it'.The result was an immediate 'wave' of posts, tweets, notes in main websites and newspapers in the city announcement. The next day, it was just too late for the other brands!

The action was created in Porto Alegre, in the south of the country. In São Paulo, professionals of Public Relations selected the people. The 40 packages bearing the phrase "Eu já sabia" ("I knew it") travelled Brazil and were delivered in three strategic places: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Recife, in the north-east, crossing more than 5 thousand kilometres. Each package was delivered personally to the designed people. All the packages were delivered only 5 minutes after the announcement of the winner city.They contained a personalised T-shirt and sticker and most important, a letter registered by a notary public dated the previous day, prooving and explaining why the brand already knew Brazil would win.

For the agility of the action Olympikus was the first to spread the news of the announcement of Rio de Janeiro as the seat of the Olympic Games 2016, with great impact because of the timing of delivery.

With only 40 packages, the brand reached more than 21 million people in a layer of privileged social position population, with capacity of growing opinion among them.

Besides, with only USD 6.857,00 the action got more than USD 29,000.000,00 in free media: it earned space in the main blogs, foudn its way into social media and the largest web portals, in addition to magazines and newspapers.

A great success from all points of view.
