The 2017 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships was held in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland. The 2017 event featured over 300 riders from 35 countries competing in the Cross Country (XCO) and Downhill (DHI) disciplines. The event had significant TV and digital viewing presence including the distribution of television broadcast to a cumulative audience in excess of 6.13 million globally across 18 different nations.
Cairns has a population of 160,000 so the challenge was to attract spectators from all over the world for the event. Jersey Road developed the brand, digital, social and activation platforms including asset roll out. We also developed the marketing and commercial strategy for the event and execution of this strategy.
