To help launch the OMEGA London 2012 Countdown Clock.
Hill and Knowlton helped OMEGA to launch their London 2012 Countdown Clock in Trafalgar Square with 500 days to go in the presence of Seb Coe, Boris Johnson, Jess Ennis and other luminaries. H+K's role was media relations; liaison with LOCOG; athlete management; crisis preparation in advance and crisis response when the clock stopped the day after the launch.
Pictures of the launch appeared in six national newspapers, including on front and back covers; extensive online coverage; H+K involvement mitigated the negative coverage after the clock temporarily stopped.
