Hatswork Round-Up: August 18, 2016




The Olympics 1 are such a magical time. It feels like the entire world comes together every couple of years in the spirit of healthy competition. In the essence of competition, only a select few brands are chosen as partners for Olympic promotions, and those left out have to tread lightly when associating with the events or the athletes.

Today, we're going to discuss a bit about how long it really takes to bring a worldwide event like this to life, and what companies that are not Olympic partners can do to remain relevant, without breaking the rules. Is it possible to offer Olympic promotions 2 if your company isn't associated with the Games?

It's mind blowing how long it takes to prepare for the Olympics, and it always seems that the host is still not ready by the time of the opening ceremony. This article, written by Promo Marketing 4, was published in December 2014.

It discusses what the directors and organizers in Rio were expecting in the way of Olympic promotions to be sold. These included lifestyle products to reflect the climate of Brazil and toys aimed at children.

Tokyo has already won the bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. So, I'm sure they will be in the office getting things ready first thing Monday morning. If they haven't already started, that is.

Samsung 6 was selected as the official mobile phone sponsor of the Rio Olympics, but that's not stopping Apple. When it comes to promotional products, it pays to be creative.

Copyright rules state that brands not associated with the Games cannot legally use the Olympic rings, the Rio 2016 logo, or the word “Olympics” on their merchandise or marketing materials.

Apple 7 is toeing the line by selling Apple Watch bands in 14 national team colors at its store location just outside the games in Brazil.
