Marathon is not just a race, it is a journey of individual transformation that can multiply and become a national movement.

We also engaged via a Marathon Facebook filter to drive User-Generated-content.
And during Covid-19 Lockdown, we still leverage Mobile-friendly contents to spread encouragements to people.


No matter where you are (geographic targeting), you once knew about Techcombank or marathon (look alike audience), you have seen our stories before (re targeting), we will bring the Greater Race to your phone.
