Hockeyfonden
ŠKODA has sponsored the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship since 1992 and was awarded a GUINNESS World Record for the “longest lasting main sponsorship of a world championship in the history of sports“. Their brand and long lived interest in the sport takes many shapes and forms – one of them being the CSR project Hockeyfonden, aiming to bring more kids on ice and enjoying one of the best sports there is.

Solution and execution
Grassroots collaborations with ŠKODA sponsored teams and organisations, introducing Ice hockey to young enthusiasts all over Sweden. Documented and communicated.
Online and physical interviews and meet and greet with elite hockey players, discussing topics such as the importance of versatility, the power of team work and the passion for the sports.
Educational and quirky hockey quizzes on Social Media for all ages with fine prizes.
Monthly kit donations to select applicants, encouraging more parents to apply for a new kit.
Kits are delivered to and picked up at their local ŠKODA retailer to build awareness of the location and selection of where to buy your new car.

Who we are
We believe that the future belongs to those on the move. The kind, brave and open ones who greet the new. Those are the people and companies we love to work with, pushing the society, planet and people forward.
We are Vidd. Swedish for broadness, expanse and scale. A view that never looses sight of progression. Something we think sums up how we think, work and act.
