PR, Mixed With Bob Marley, Makes Bohs Become a Global Sensation
Sector

Wise Up PR helped soccer club Bohemian FC launch a Bob Marley-inspired shirt to the world.

The Challenge

Help ‘Bohs’ hit an untapped global audience of fans and drive sales of its Bob Marley-inspired shirt, which pays homage to that famed Marley Dalymount gig from 1980, ‘An Afternoon in the Park’.

Our Approach

Wise Up PR’s central approach was heavily focused on achieving earned media placements across a host of international and sports publications. The idea was to then piggyback on this coverage through social media posts from these media outlets, driving sustained audience interest and engagement through both earned and social channels.

Results

Pieces of earned media coverage were achieved globally. High-visibility international hits secured included BBC, CNN, ESPN, Forbes, Reuters, Rolling Stone and many more

PR drove a massive sales spike, causing a six-week backlog of orders, even nine months after launch

The quality of Wise Up PR's work on this campaign has been recognized with multiple industry awards, including a Stevie® Award win
