The Times Event - WATCH SHARRON DAVIES TO GET FIT AT YOUR DESK

UK, February 26, 2008
The Times, the UK’s leading daily newspaper for business people, is promoting the Leitz campaign to help office workers become fitter and more productive in the office as part of their daily routine. They have filmed Sharron Davies, the ex Olympic athlete spearheading the Leitz Office Games Campaign, performing a selection of the Leitz Office Games ‘at-your-desk’ toning exercises.

From 3rd-7th March, The Times will drive their readers to see the video clips of Sharron on the TimesONLINE web site by featuring details of the Leitz Office Games Campaign in times2, the main supplement of the Times. The Times has daily sales of 640,000 copies with an estimated daily readership of 1.5m.

The videos will be housed on the Crème and Career sections of Timesonline.
On Wednesday, Times2 includes Crème, the newspaper’s supplement for PAs, secretaries, executive assistants and anyone who works in administrative support. This section is read by more secretaries than The Guardian and The Evening Standard. The Leitz Office Games ‘at-your-desk’ toning exercises, in association with The Times, will also be featured on the home page of TimesONLNE for at least one day next week. TimesOnline receives 12.4m unique visitors each month.

The big bonus for Esselte and the trade is that the TIMESONLINE feature will include a LIVE link to www.leitz.com/officegames . On this website end users can register to receive Sharron’s monthly fitness emails and tips, browse the Leitz product portfolio, take the Leitz product fitness text, and enter a prize draw to win two tickets to Beijing, home of the 2008 Olympics.

Juliet Tipton, Marketing Manager, Esselte UK said, “This is the tremendous opportunity for dealers to grow their sales of Leitz products by participating with us in this campaign and in particular to promote Leitz products during this fantastic PR event. We have already planned lots of customer promotions and blitz days for this week, mainly focusing on the 180° Lever Arch File – the file with the fastest track record. Dealers can also add the live link www.timesonline.uk/creme to their web sites in conjunction with www.leitz.com/officegames”
