NB RUNAWAY - FROM PUB TO RUNNER'S HUB

By
GUNG HO
Date Launched

PR | INFLUENCER | EVENT | CREATIVE

TRUTH
For most runners, marathon day isn’t just about the race — it’s about the ritual, the community, and the celebration that follows.

TOLD BOLDLY
To bring that spirit to life, GUNG HO supported New Balance’s The Runaway Pub — a London Marathon campaign that celebrated the social side of running.
We hosted a pre-race run with key media and influencers, managed event photography, food, goody bags and creative, and turned a pub into a runner’s hub.
The result? A moment that blurred the lines between PR, culture and community — and kept the New Balance story running long after the finish line.

IMPACT

  • Top-tier media and influencer attendance

  • High social engagement and live event coverage

  • Widespread PR reach across key titles

  • 17.2M Total Opportunities to See
