Lenovo: Voices Of The Olympic Games
Lenovo, that purchased IBM’s PC Division in 2005, is worldwide partner of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games; Lenovo also designed the Olympic torch. Lenovo surprised me with it’s concept Voices of the Olympic Games.
In this branded blog podium, sport fans can follow Lenovo’s athlete bloggers and the latest news on their journey to Beijing - Hear their voices.
Strong authenticity is shown by Lenovo’s facilitating approach: they clearly sponsor the blog, but the athlete bloggers don’t have to promote Lenovo products and can write about their experiences in their road to Beijing.
Looks like a smart social media marketing approach, I say 2 thumbs up. Tell us how you rate Lenovo’s strategy. Read more about their approach here.
