The Solution
We launched a bold, multi-faceted campaign to introduce Hyperia, the UK’s tallest and fastest rollercoaster, to a young and thrill-seeking audience. At the heart of the campaign was the creation of the ‘Find Your Fearless’ platform, designed to capture the spirit of adventure and transformation that Hyperia represents.
- Iconic Brand: 'Hyperia' – a name and design that embodied the ride’s power and excitement.
- Fearless Campaign: 'Find Your Fearless' became the rallying cry for those brave enough to conquer the ride.
- 360-Degree Activation: Engaging social media, digital ads, and in-park experiences that ignited excitement across all platforms.
