The Giro d’Italia, together with its best ambassador Peter Sagan, have created the best cycling advertising campaign in years. How have they done it? Let’s see.
Before we start, we cannot ignore the situation we are in, conditioned by a global pandemic that has affected the natural course of the international cycling event calendar. This 2020 season, super star rider Peter Sagan is scheduled to ride the Giro de Itala for the first time.
However, the rider has contested a very tough Tour de France in which Sam Benet has managed to rebate his green jersey after 7 years of absolute reign in this classification.
Update: Sagan manages to win a stage in his first Giro d’Italia.
The original dates for the 2020 Giro d’Italia were between May 9 and 31, 2020, however the global Coronavirus pandemic affected the calendar and therefore the launch of one of the best cycling advertising campaigns in recent years.
“Peter is ready” is the Giro d’Italia’s advertising campaign for its 2020 edition.
