With 2012 just around the corner, now is an ideal time to start planning your marketing campaign for the Olympic Games and here at Creative Emporium, we can help…

Showing support for Team GB and the London Olympic and Paralympic Games is an ideal way to create a connection with your customers. With so many different events, there really is something for everyone and excitement for 2012 is likely to be nationwide with the Olympics taking place in this country for the first time since 1948!

We are able to source products that are both fun and useful promoting your brand alongside an iconic event. Items such as inflatable megaphones, folding binoculars and mini horns (not quite as loud as a vuvuzela horn!) are fun items that can be used for the duration of the games. Use of these items isn’t restricted to London either. Plans are already in place to have “live sites”. These sites have big screens offering live information, video news and community events as well as live screenings of the events themselves. There are 18 big screens already operating at locations across the UK so its likely there will be one near you!
