Channel 4 s biggest ever marketing campaign promoted the London 2012 Paralympic Games with its Meet the Superhumans film across 78 television channels, aiming to introduce a new audience to the Paralympics and raise awareness of Paralympic sport. Set to the track, Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy, the film showcases the feats of the UK s top Paralympians, as well as revealing some of the unique backstories of previously unknown athletes and their phenomenal training in preparation for the Games. The shoot took place over two weeks in sports arenas across the country. The Channel 4 marketing campaign also utilised major outdoor poster, press and digital activity, including a poster campaign telling Usain Bolt and Mo Farah “thanks for the warm-up”. Conceived and directed by Tom Tagholm, the film features sometimes shocking images – a bomb blast, a car crash – and its fast-paced emotionally charged nature that make us change our perspective. We see that the athletes are something more, rather than something less, than normal athletes. The words “Meet the superhumans” reinforce this new perspective. It s success was revealed when more than 11 million people tuned in for the opening ceremony one of the best audience figures in Channel 4 s history. The campaign swept the board at the Promax Awards and the British Television Advertising Awards, as well as the Campaign of the Year award by Campaign magazine.

February, 2015 – Breyer Group has revealed how TomTom Telematics technology and its partnership with HDI-Gerling Insurance Company has led to fleet insurance savings of £60,000 in just 12 months.
The building contractor made the savings across its 200-strong fleet by using driver behaviour monitoring tools to underpin a three-year risk management programme with HDI-Gerling.
“By meeting targets to reduce the frequency and severity of motor claims in the last 12 months, we have benefitted from a 20 per cent premium reduction,” said Breyer Group finance manager Nigel Wood. “We’ll benefit from further savings again next year if we continue to hit our performance targets.”
WEBFLEET, TomTom Telematics’ fleet management platform, allows Breyer to monitor and profile the performance of its van and car drivers with data insights on incidents such as speeding, harsh braking, steering and acceleration. This information is also interpreted by HDI-Gerling that supports the service to improve driver behaviour, resulting in reduced fleet insurance costs and overall fleet operating costs.
In addition, WEBFLEET provides Breyer with fuel efficiency information from the onboard diagnostics device. This combines with the risk management data to score drivers out of 10 in an Optidrive™ indicator, helping fleet managers to benchmark drivers to identify areas for improvement.
“By having the tools to monitor and encourage our employees to drive more carefully, we are also successfully reducing our fuel spend, CO2 emissions, improving driver safety and our duty of care to our workforce,” Nigel added.
Breyer is using the system operationally to allocate the most appropriate contractors to jobs, optimising its business efficiencies and customer response times. The company’s investment and implementation of WEBFLEET was supported by TomTom Telematics’ Gold partner, Auto Electrical Services (AES).
