The request

Can you tell our story fast?

A race against the clock

There almost wasn't going to be a Dutch boat participating in this year's Volvo Ocean Race... even though the Dutch ABN AMRO team took home the cup last year. When the chance came along to participate after all, Delta Lloyd jumped at it. Participating is more important than winning, if nothing else other than to preserve the depth of sea and sailing experience in our country. A whole generation of newer boats are participating, but the former winner will also be there, returning with new modifications. And with the assurance that Hemels van der Hart could deliver the communication fast, Team Delta Lloyd was ready to jump right in.

Like you're right on board with the team

With just six weeks to go before the start, we started by building a preliminary site to support the press presentation, with a complete site following closely in its wake. Our concept was that we didn't just want to put dry facts out there, but build a site that told the story of Team Delta Lloyd: the emotions, the tensions, the highs and lows, putting the site visitor right in the middle of it all with reporting straight from the crew. And you can follow the race with date, time and position reports. With, as an extra angle, the story of the media man who's on board just for the purpose of reporting back to you.

The website develops together with the race.

Getting underway

The result is a unique website. With a smart technical application, you can follow the position and route of Team Delta Lloyd right on the map (linked with Google maps). And it just gets better. New improvements appear on the site every day. Soon we will have the crew reports linked right on the map location from which they were filed. We also developed the press kit with all background information.

Results: clear sailing

Team Delta Lloyd's entry made the Volvo Ocean Race a good bit more exciting. Every day, some 2,500 visitors follow the race on the site! We can also achieve this kind of dramatic result for you.

If you'd like to see that kind of clear sailing on any of your projects, send an e-mail to skloos@hvdh.nl and we'll put you on the right course.
