“As to answer to the challenges of our rapidly expanding organization we sought a tool to connect our members around the world, the tailor made corporate concept around the Clipper Race allowed us to use the yacht as a metaphor to our internal ‘journey to become one’. Having our own employees become part of the racing crew elevated them to become ambassadors of our corporate values by connecting and engaging our employees in stopover activations across the globe.” –
Ronald Slaats, former CEO De Lage Landen
“Following a historical tradition of having destinations as sponsors, the DLL concept broke the Clipper Race mould in 2011, becoming the first corporate Team Sponsor. The two-race campaign was developed throughout the 2011-12 race and was so successful the 2013-14 race saw the level of activation and engagement double, and was unlike any other we have seen so far. I am proud to have Ocean Sailing Challenges, responsible for ushering in this new era for the race with their corporate concept, be part of the Clipper organization as exclusive representative.” -
William Ward, CEO Clipper Ventures
