Advico Young&Rubicam recommends running shoes from Ryffel Running
This fall, SportXX will open its first four Ryffel Running by SportXX stores in Basel-Dreispitz, Steinhausen (Zug), Marin-Centre, and Glatt. Advico Young&Rubicam has therefore designed a new brand identity for Ryffel Running.
The claim is based on the special nature of the stores: All employees are enthusiastic runners themselves and are specially trained by Swiss running pioneers Markus and Urs Ryffel, as the agency writes in a press release on Tuesday. After a personal consultation and a professional foot analysis, they only recommend running shoes to customers that are perfectly suited to their feet and running style. The slogan of the opening campaign is accordingly: A running shoe that is painted directly on the foot.
The agency won the overall mandate in a pitch. The contract comprises the complete communication including visual appearance, logo, claim and the opening promotions.
