Blue Peter Mega Mileathon

Creation of branding and motion graphics for Blue Peter’s Mega Mileathon campaign. The Mega Mileathon motivated children across the UK to do over 80 million steps for Sport Relief.

The Brief

Blue Peter is one of the longest-running children's television programme in the world and also one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. They promote positive values and have been providing entertainment to children since 1958! As part of their scheduling they regularly partner with Sport Relief to raise money for charity and to get kids moving and more active.

Sport Relief, in turn has brought the nation together to get active and raise life changing amounts of money through the power of sport.

The money raised by the public is used to support people living incredibly tough lives, in the UK and around the world. Turbine Creative were asked by a partnership of The BBC and Sport Relief to create upbeat, child-friendly branding elements that could be used to capture the viewer’s excitement and get them on board with this amazing Blue Peter initiative project.

The two energetic presenters Lindsey Russell and Radzi Chinyanganya would then travel around the UK in a special series of films as they motivated children across the nation to add their steps to the target and raise money as they did so.

Our Solution

The motion graphics, branding devices, and animations we craeted were all part of the Blue Peter special series of shows. They helped bring a sense of identity, uniformity and recognition to the campaign.

The Mega Mileathon branding even managed to reach the elevated status of the famous Blue Peter Total-ometer!!

The campaign was a huge success with a great impact on social media, TV viewing figures and well over 80 million sponsored steps were counted.
