Context

Altra, an American company specialising in the design and marketing of road and trail running shoes, marked the Paris Marathon with an exclusive creation: the Escalante Racer Paris, a limited edition pair of shoes.

In partnership with Alltricks, an e-commerce site dedicated to the world of sport, Altra wanted to give maximum visibility to this new product.

Solution

Communicating during the Paris Marathon is a particularly judicious strategy for a running shoe brand. This event brings together thousands of runners as well as a large community of enthusiasts, all looking for high-performance products to optimise their running experience. By launching a limited edition specifically for the marathon, Altra is naturally associated with the event, reinforcing its credibility and presence in the running world.

Communication was based on several channels. Firstly, a poster campaign was deployed at strategic points in Paris, including metro stations and places where marathon runners gathered before the start. This guaranteed direct exposure to participants. At the same time, an advertisement in the magazine "Le Journal du Runner", distributed with the sports daily L'Équipe, has made it possible to reach a specialised and passionate readership.

In addition, advertising has been placed on the Alltricks site to offer visibility and a unified, immersive customer journey.
