PREPARATIONS ARE DRAWING TO A CLOSE. THE SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES ARE ALWAYS A CHALLENGE NOT ONLY FOR THE ATHLETES BUT ALSO FOR THE MARKETING DEPARTMENTS OF THE PARTNERS

19. 7. 2024 We are just days away from the start of the most spectacular sporting event of this year. The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris are just around the corner and preparations are reaching their peak on all fronts. Fans are already studying the schedule, searching for the streaming platforms that will offer them the best coverage of each event. The athletes go into the finals after often more than a year of intensive preparation. Organisers are making the final touches and reassuring the public that they have done their utmost in terms of security to ensure the smooth running of the Games. And what about the Olympic team partners? Their marketing departments are racing to see who can put together the most creative campaign full of hope, motivation, and positive sportsmanship with the help of national heroes. The same applies to the Czech Olympic Committee and its most important sponsors. How have they managed this discipline during the past Olympics and what have they prepared for us this year? Czech Olympic Committee - Living London like John Cleese (2012) Traditionally, the Czech Olympic Committee, as the main carrier of the Olympic message in the country, airs its TV advertisements in the run-up to the Olympics. In 2012, it managed to engage a truly exclusive partner – British actor John Cleese, best known as a former member of the legendary comedy group Monty Python, and neurotic hotel manager Basil Fawlty from the Britcom Fawlty Towers. The campaign featured several spots in which Cleese takes the role of the viewer’s guide to Olympic and traditional London. Of course, he provides basic information on red phone booths, the five o’clock tea tradition, and a basic English language lesson. The COC has launched a total of ten spots featuring John Cleese, and interestingly, the actor has made one condition for his participation – that he will be actively involved in the scripting of all the adverts. The result is a unique campaign with an international star actor who excels in the art of dry British humour, which would be difficult to imitate by an exclusively Czech creative team. Czech fans couldn’t have asked for a better invitation to London.
