Danone YoPRO
A revolution in sports nutrition
New brand positioning and activation model to revolutionize sports nutrition
The starting point
Nowadays, an increasing number of people integrate sports into their everyday routines, making it a pillar in their lives and a source for challenges and personal growth. As a result, sports nutrition has seen a strong growth in recent years, with high-protein yogurts being one of the dairy categories with greatest potential.
Danone, through its high-protein dairy brand YoPRO, aims to become the sports partner of all athletes in Spain.

Our move
Discover the insights and drivers of athletes to reposition YoPRO and create a relevant and meaningful ecosystem of interaction between the brand and consumers.
To do so, we focused on generating experiences and challenges through the most aspirational sports competitions in the country. Additionally, a team of ambassadors participated and gave an always-on visibility to these experiences through the generation of content, allowing us to break the offline barrier and reaching the online audience. The YoPRO ambassadors team was integrated by Valentí Sanjuán, Purito Rodríguez, Saleta Castro and Paula Butrageño among others.
“You must focus on the positive, you know that running will change your day. On the hardest days is when you need it the most”

Implementation
The first step to implement the ecosystem of interaction was to link up with the most aspirational sports competitions in the country, such as the Mitja Marató Barcelona, the Rock’n’Roll Running Series Madrid or the Quebrantahuesos. To do so, we took into consideration the interests of our target, supporting them and providing them with resources to achieve their challenges, and those of the competitions, adding value to the experience they offer.
We then created an activation plan around each of the competitions based on three major momentums:
• Pre-competition: creating online content starring our ambassadors and launching the Virtual Races of the competitions through Strava.
• Competition: appropriating strategic supports of brand visibility and supporting participants by providing them with YoPRO products.
• Post-competition: capitalizing the memorability of the challenge through a personalized diploma with the main metrics of each participant, which was sent at the end of each competition via SMS/email.
Additionally, through our team of ambassadors, we motivated their communities to take part in those competitions, accompanying them throughout the whole journey and telling the inspirational stories and challenges behind each one of them.
Transversally, we generated an ecosystem of communications that fed the brand’s channels with relevant content for YoPRO’s target, which strengthened the brand’s positioning and value proposition.
