FOSTERING COMMUNITY AND SUPPORTING ALBERTANS DURING THE CALGARY STAMPEDE
CHALLENGE
ATB Financial aimed to create a memorable and engaging experience for visitors at the Calgary Stampede while boosting their brand visibility. They needed a strategy that would not only connect with a large audience but also offer real value to the event’s attendees.
SOLUTION
During the Calgary Stampede, we partnered with ATB Financial to deliver a unique campaign that offered free rides to attendees leaving the event. We deployed 16 branded rideshare vehicles, each featuring customized interior branding and a surprise-and-delight element, where passengers received ice-cold water and snacks. These elements created a personalized and refreshing experience that left a lasting impression on riders. The vehicles not only provided convenience to Stampede-goers but also served as mobile billboards, generating significant brand exposure as they traveled through the city.
