The Campaign

‘The Vélo Family’ was a worldwide celebration of all types of cyclists. We created 21 characters based on types of riders and devised a fully-integrated campaign around them.

Campaign Success

The Vélo Family appeared in a TVC, in several TV idents, in three mini-documentaries, in personality tests, quizzes and online competitions and many more. The Vélo Family made Le Tour de France 2016 feel like a giant cycling family reunion.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

The “Meet the Vélo Family” 360° campaign gave rational and emotional context to ŠKODA’s Tour de France sponsorship and provided relevant engagement opportunities that led to a dramatic increase in brand awareness and fan engagement.

ŠKODA was born in bikes 121 years ago. Cycling is in our DNA, that is why we are supporting everyone who is sharing cycling passion with us.
