Website:
Before a game of street hockey can begin, everyone has to throw their stick into a pile and divide up the teams. Gatorade taps into this unique characteristic of hockey by creating an interactive experience where the consumer can also throw a hockey stick on the pile.

By adding their stick to the pile the consumer enters a contest where they can win 1 of 30 autographed Sidney Crosby hockey sticks. Following that, the site demonstrates why Gatorade works, where it originated from, what it does for the hockey community and who loves drinking it.

Target Audience:
Canadian competitors (13-24) who give everything they have when they compete. All athletic competitors share the will to win – this is about having a commitment, not just to take part, not just to try hard, but to give it all you’ve got. For Canadians, this mentality comes to life in hockey and Canadian athletes.

Banner:
Every day for 30 days in May, Gatorade gave away an autographed Sidney Crosby hockey stick. The banner plays off the simple idea of getting Sidney’s stick.

Email:
The email gets into the head of the truly competitive hockey player by asking them “if they have what it takes” to win an autographed Sidney Crosby hockey stick. The reader is offered 2 choices to prove they “have what it takes”. The right choice links them to the website where they are entered into the contest. The wrong choice sends them to…well…see for yourself.
