#100MillionSteps
The NBK Walkathon was running out of steam after 22 years. Participation had plateaued, and NBK needed to persuade more people to join and complete the event. At the same time, we at BPG Kuwait had to motivate Kuwait to be more active among the top 10 most obese nations globally. The idea came from the core through people's behavior by providing them to achieve". We themed it "#100millionsteps".
Digital Meets Social
The result of the 23rd walkathon: over 8000 participants with "over 100 million steps". The NBK walkathon was recorded as one of the most important social responsibility initiatives on a local level in the past two decades.
Participants were given vests with a chip placed inside, connected to a fitness app to calculate the number of steps in real-time. Through the app, participants were also able to share their NBK walkathon experiences on their social networks.
