  • INTERSPORT Launches Mission to Help People Find Their Place in Sport
    INTERSPORT launches mission to help people find their place in sport Study shows that 66% of people say they still haven’t found their place in sport, with 88% saying that they don’t see themselves as athletes. Thursday 23 January 2020 - Bern, Switzerland. INTERSPORT, the world's leading sports ​ retailer, launches “Wherever You Take Training”, the first chapter of a multi-category ​ ​ brand platform to reinforce the brand’s essential place at the beating heart of local sport. Created with advertising agency WE ARE Pi, the new brand platform, “Heart of Sport”, tells ​ ​ real stories from local communities. It reminds people that wherever they take sport, INTERSPORT has the products, people, advice and enthusiasm to get there. With revenue now topping twelve billion euros, INTERSPORT’s new brand-led growth plan comes as the broader retail industry is undergoing radical change driven by changing consumer behaviour, digital transformation and competition from larger online players. “Heart of Sport” is the result of INTERSPORT’s most comprehensive piece of international ​ consumer research to date, with over 1,600 customers in the UK, Germany, and France. The key finding: Everyone needs a place in sport. The research reveals an unfortunate truth; 66% of people say they still haven’t found their place in sport, with 88% saying that they don’t see themselves as athletes. Where, how and with whom people do sport is key to getting the most out their chosen activity, from an emotional, physical and psychological point of view. From your team or training buddy, to the terrain you’re on and the equipment you use - each ingredient helps build confidence and pride, giving you more enjoyment and getting you closer to your goal(s), whatever they might be.
