Surf League
The challenge
Immediately after the first surfing Olympic games, the men's and women's Corona Open Mexico took place in Barra de la Cruz as the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour’s ultimate event. Seeking international coverage and exposure, the WSL tasked The Brand Agency with publicizing their event, reaching new audiences, and expanding out of traditional media practices. The team worked creatively to find new ways to expose many to this event like never before. Although a few challenges were met due to COVID, athlete access, and scheduling, our team pivoted strategies to ensure meaningful coverage was secured.
