HECK! X Bedale

Heck: premium sausages.

Growth Mission: raise mass awareness through sports sponsorship on a budget.

How we Won Hearts: sponsorship is expensive and product-placement team photos are quickly forgotten. But new kit announcements are always the talk of the town.

How we Blew Minds: launched the world’s worst football kit and put a non league Yorkshire team in sausage print monstrosities. For 5 years. Donating proceeds to Prostate Cancer.

The Renaissance: 1 billion total reach; global earned media including an appearance on QI and mention on BBC Sport; gave the FA a headache.
