It provided cars like T+STT for the events and offered car services for guests and players. It put brandings inside and outside the arena on signs and backdrops.
The brand used on-ground activations such as carnivals. The carnival included live presentation of cars at the event, enabling audiences at the sport events to experience the excellence of the brand at a close distance.
Dong Feng Citroen became the official partner of China Badminton Association and Chinese national team in 2010. It has started to sponsor more badminton events since then, including Thomas & Uber Cups, Sudirman Cup, and China Open.
It also makes efforts in corporate social responsibilities. In 2013, the car company called for one-hour badminton exercises among fans of the sport, car owners, and the general public.
