McCann China has been appointed as the creative partner for Alibaba’s Olympics campaign, covering marketing, communications and creative services for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Alibaba holds a 12-year partnership deal with the Olympics.
For the Beijing 2022 campaign, McCann China plans to cut through with stories of ordinary people and how the Olympic Games play a meaningful role in their lives. The campaign will share different stories of technological advancements and how they enable society and humanity’s development.
Chris Tung, CMO, Alibaba said, “Since 2017, Alibaba has invested ... a lot as an Olympic Partner, in order to bring a smarter Olympics to a global audience for the Beijing 2022 Winter competition. The sheer scale of this has raised some fantastic challenges for our marketing and creative partner, from strategy to innovation, all the way through to the management of a massive platform for creative expression.”
