When Teleroute asked us to create a campaign to celebrate their 25th anniversary, we didn’t want to come up with just any anniversary campaign. We looked for a way to involve employees, customers and all stakeholders.
3. Briefing
Teleroute wants to celebrate its 25th anniversary
and create a momentum for all stakeholders
Message
Externally: pan-european network with local presence in 27 countries: ‘close to you’ for
25 years now
Internally: you have been the pillar of our success during these 25 years

4. Campaign
• Not a traditional campaign: 25th anniversary = non-event
• To get the attention of all our stakeholders, we need to turn our 25th
anniversary into an event

5. The concept
• 2 pillars:
– The Teleroute Freight Exchange
– Our local presence
The Teleroute 25th Anniversary Challenge

6. The challenge
• 25 countries in 25 days
• A reporter (Tim de Jong) will have to make the tour of Europe,
making use of the Teleroute Freight Exchange Platform
• For every 25 km Teleroute donates 25 euro to charity (The
European Federation of Food Banks) + 25 euro per country
crossed. If the challenge is met Teleroute will add a bonus of 25% of
the total amount
