Racquet Trend

Repositioning the largest racquet sports fair in Europe.

BRIEF

Born from the evolution of Padel Trend, Racquet Trend is the largest event dedicated to racquet sports in Europe. With 33,000 square meters, 5 sports, 21 courts, 6 thematic areas, a performance area and a business district, it offers spectacular matches, exclusive activities, meetings with athletes and coaches and new insights into current trends. The event has expanded focus on tennis, pickleball, beach tennis and table tennis, thus requiring strategic repositioning. An innovative format combining business and entertainment, involving both B2B companies and B2C consumers, to anticipate the future of racquet sports.

SOLUTION

For Racquet Trend, we created a logo and coordinated image with a strong character, capable of expressing the brand’s values: innovation, dynamism and internationality.
The visual identity, modern and distinctive, characterized by a gradient ranging from shades of green to orange, was reflected in a direct, engaging and international tone of voice, capable of speaking to both racquet lovers and the business world. This vision was then materialized across all touchpoints, from the new website to social and ADV communications, to create a multichannel strategy.

STORYTELLING AND STRATEGY: THE RACQUET TREND VISION TOLD THROUGH THE WEBSITE

We projected and designed the Racquet Trend website with a strategic vision, taking care of every aspect to meet the needs of a B2B, B2C and international audience.
The work of reorganization and content creation was fundamental to build a storytelling that would enhance every aspect of the project. We developed exclusive sections for exhibitors and fans, turning the site into a true hub connecting the world of racquet sports. Each area of the site was designed to tell Racquet Trend as the reference point for all the players in this universe.

AN INTEGRATED DIGITAL STRATEGY TO PLACE RACQUET TRENDS FRONT AND CENTER

We revamped Racquet Trend’s social presence starting with the Padel Trend profile. We designed and produced new content, from graphics to copywriting, from information carousels to dynamic reels. We built targeted multi-target communication – racquet lovers, business and international audiences – and developed integrated campaigns that helped position Racquet Trend as the largest event dedicated to racquet sports in Europe. Social activity was followed closely and live during the days of the event to ensure full and direct coverage with followers and fan base.
