Carnegie, Powergen & Kellogg's. "Although Kellogg's were only a short term sponsor of the Challenge Cup, it was a special and memorable event for the company. It provided a high profile and very visible event for Kellogg's Nutri-Grain that the organisation could touch and be part of. The integration of the sponsorship by the RFL team was outstanding and it delivered against the key targets of raising brand awareness and driving the trial of Nutri-Grain, as well as providing a benefit to the Kellogg's brand."
