🎯 The challenge

This case study takes a closer look at the Httpool Grows Challenges for Httpool that was organised in September ’21.

Employees of Httpool received a unique code to unlock their challenge on the platform. They connected their sports app or wearable (eg. Strava) to the platform to automatically synchronise their activities in a seamless manner. Their target was to collect 14,600 trees by moving 29,200 kilometres from Monday September 6th until Sunday October 3rd. So, this means that they earned a tree each time 2 kilometres was registered on the platform.

Participants could walk, run, cycle, swim or perform other types of sports activities to reach their team target. But most important of all we challenged them to work together to achieve their goal. During the challenge they got real-time updates on their progress through leaderboards and insights on the platform. A weekly inspiring blogpost motivated them to keep moving and create awareness about physical and mental wellbeing in a fun and gamified way. We also created awareness about their corporate social responsibility (CSR) with insights about the project of Lignaverda in Senegal.

🔎 Outcome and benefits

The challenge was a success with more than 257 participants worldwide. Htppool reached their target on the last day! They collected 30,941 kilometres and therefore planted 14,600 trees for the Lignaverda project. This means that on average 55 trees were planted per person and each person collected about 110 kilometres of sports activities.

Also the weekly inspiration mails were well received with an opening rate of 73%.
