The Tour de France brand has attracted a large audience, allowing them to experience the charm of Tour de France, forming a unique and innovative product in the intellectual property-based operating model for marketing.
The top international French sports company and Tour de France planner, Amaury Sport Organization has actively promoted the globalisation of the Tour de France brand in recent years, which aligned with Activation Group’s IP marketing concept.
In addition to the experience centre for cycling in Zhuji, Activation Group has also announced another new strategy for Tour de France IP under which a bicycle-themed TV series ‘Legendary of Cycling’ will be produced. The production of the TV series is scheduled to start in 2020.
As an integrated marketing specialist in Greater China, Activation Group provides experiential marketing, digital marketing, branding and public relations services, aiming to expand the Chinese market for sports and entertainment IP.
