London, 2 April 2018 – Blackwell Global won the First Time Sponsor Award for its #BluesChallenge campaign. The UK Sponsorship Awards has awarded the outstanding campaign forged between the brokerage and Premier League side Everton Football Club

Facing fierce competition within the category, Blackwell Global clinched this award with the #BluesChallenge campaign launched last October. Through a distinct brand differentiation that featured star players Wayne Rooney, Jordan Pickford, Morgan Schneiderlin, Phil Jagielka, Leighton Banes and Yannick Bolasie, the multi-platform campaign drove brand and product awareness that resulted in more than 1200 participants for its demo trading competition.

“We took a risk with the decision to launch a campaign targeting the experienced trader audience with the highly specific #BluesChallenge trading competition,” said Patrick Latchford, CEO of Blackwell Global (UK), “I’m proud to say that the risk paid off. This award is recognition of our dedication to building great products and services for our clients.”

Conducted at the London Marriott Hotel in attendance by corporate giants such as Cadbury, DHL and PepsiCo, the range of winners highlight the dynamic, effective and creative aspects of the sponsorship industry.

Kicking off with Blackwell Global (UK)’s #BluesChallenge campaign, the First Time Sponsor Award has brought success within the first year of Blackwell Global’s first foray into sports sponsorship and Everton’s first partnership with a forex brokerage.
