Project details:
The project involved the comprehensive creation of a unique sporting event: a 7.5 km swimming traverse in the picturesque Sierra de Tramontana, Mallorca. From conception to execution, my role was to lead the planning and total management of the event, covering everything from brand creation and sponsor search to coordination with security entities such as the Red Cross.
Project Objective
The fundamental goal was to create a distinctive sporting event that fused the natural beauty of the Sierra de Tramontana with the athletic challenge of a swimming traverse. The vision included not only providing participants with a unique experience but also establishing a lasting and sustainable brand for future editions.
Roles and Coordination
As the project leader, I played a central role in creating and coordinating all aspects of the event. I collaborated with various stakeholders, from government entities to sponsors and security organizations like the Red Cross, ensuring the alignment of goals and compliance with regulations.
Responsibilities and Deliverables
My responsibilities included creating the event’s brand and logo, a visual identity that captured the essence of the swim traverse and resonated with participants. Securing sponsors was crucial for financing and supporting the event. The planning and execution of the swim traverse included logistical coordination, water safety, and medical care, key aspects of the event’s success.
Safety Management and Collaboration with the Red Cross
Safety management was a priority, and in this context, I established a strategic partnership with the Red Cross to ensure preparedness and effective response to potential water emergencies. This involved detailed safety protocols, trained personnel, and close coordination during the swim traverse.
Results and Evaluation
The result was a successful sporting event that met the established goals. The swimming traverse in the Sierra de Tramontana became an annual milestone, attracting participants, sponsors, and spectators. The creation of a solid brand contributed to the event's continuity and recognition over time.
