UCI MOUNTAIN BIKE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

"How can Mercedes-Benz engage our Sprinter Cargo Van loyalists in a way that connects with their life away from work?"

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van community event

Insight we discovered:

Brand loyalty isn’t just a function of delivering on a promise, it’s forged through a shared passion of what's important. Our customers weren't just using their Sprinter vans for work, they also used them for pursuing adventure, exploration, and active lifestyles.


Creative concept:
“UCI Mountain Bike World Championship”

We brought the Sprinter van lifestyle to life through an interactive, experiential adventure; a hands-on experience that allowed fans to engage with the brand and other customers through outdoor exploration and competition.
