EighyOne unleashes the All Blacks for UK campaign

WELLINGTON, Friday: UK-based Healthspan Elite, with Willis St-based agency EightyOne, has launched a co-created range of 32 sports and vitamin products that was developed with the All Blacks performance nutritionist, Kat Darry.

EightyOne ECD Chris Bleackley said: “Plenty of sports teams endorse products. Not many actually help develop the product. This was a rare opportunity to collaborate with an ambitious client and a pretty good rugby team.”

Guernsey-based Healthspan head of brand Rhian Whitchurch said: “We engaged with EightyOne due to their extensive knowledge of sports partnerships and previous experience of working with the All Blacks.

“From our first conversation it was clear the team had instantly understood our brief and what we were trying to achieve.”
