Money2020 Europe Payments Race – Official Media & PR Partner

Blue Train Marketing is thrilled to have been selected as the official media and PR partner for Team Card in Fintech Finance’s Payments Race 2019. The race will kick off this Thursday, 23rd May 2019 from Trafalgar Square and finish at Money20/20 Europe in Amsterdam.

Racers will be tasked with making their way around the world, whilst facing a series of payments related challenges along the way. The only catch is that each racer can only use one payment method or face immediate disqualification. The payment methods are Cash, Card, Crypto and Mobile. 

Each racer will have a cameraperson filming their every move and a support team back in the UK and all over the world. This team consists of mentors, sponsors and a PR partner and it is their role to get other people involved as much as possible!

Team Card’s racer is Sophie Theen from 11FS. Joining Sophie is Chai Rolfe, a self-employed TV and film professional from London.

Travelling west from London to Amsterdam, Sophie and Chai will have to go through three checkpoints: Northern Ireland, Hong Kong and Lithuania. To make things even more interesting, the racers will have to complete three challenges throughout the two weeks:

  1. Visit as many Countries as possible – Barb MacLean explains the challenge.
  2. Use as many types of transport as possible
  3. Gain as many video endorsements as possible – Stuart Thomas provides more information.

Completing these challenges will earn the teams’ extra points and will count towards #TeamCard’s total as we compete against #TeamCrypto, #TeamCash and #TeamMobile.

Assisting Sophie and Chai back home, are a great team of people:
