Volvo, “The Official Vehicle of the Big East Conference & Championships,” wanted to extend this major sponsorship beyond the hardwood. Cake launched Volvo’s groundbreaking competition to find the “Biggest Fan of the Big East” during the 2010 – 2011 season, seeking to leverage this position to generate buzz for the new Volvo S60.
Alumni from each of the Big East schools competed – very heavily, we might add — in the social media-driven contest. During the NCAA season, they traveled to their alma maters in a Volvo S60 for a home game and weekend of Big East fun. No doubt the S60 was an upgrade from the vehicle they actually had in college.
They blogged and posted in social media about their experiences throughout the season generating an additional 111 Million additional media impressions for the partnership and engaging an influential audience of bloggers to drive wide fame and engagement.
