Edge helped to drive the success of the 2018 Invictus Games with a multi-phase campaign designed to build awareness, engagement and action over the 18 months leading up to the event.

Sold out all events

Across the whole campaign, Edge helped the Invictus Games sell out every event, and ensure that the games were viewed by over 3.6M people.
