Tech Startup Offers Tourists Shortcut to Berlin Marathon

Sept. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- As a part of this week’s creative marketing action strategy, KeyRocket hosted a Berlin Mini-Marathon right in the middle of Alexanderplatz!

Our idea to construct a 42.195 meter track in the center of Berlin’s heavily populated Alexanderplatz was handled with unstoppable efficiency. We moved from concept to reality inside of 48 hours! In order to construct the racetrack, an assortment of items ranging from cardboard to bright pink toilet tissue was utilized.

Participants received chocolate for their time, and winner with the most outstanding time received an Amazon gift card. Our incentives were irresistible! We also gave away cool KeyRocket swag like mousepads and personalized award certificates. Photos are available on KeyRocket’s blog.

One person at a time, we’re spreading the word about KeyRocket… and probably having a bit too much fun doing so!
