Seen Around The World
The Bigg Pull is broadcast live, every day, for 41 days, to a South African and international audience. This is not a local walk, it is a global stage. When you get involved, your brand, your cause and your message travel all 1,671km, in front of the world and the nation.
A Nation Watching
The Reach
Estimated, conservative reach across live streaming, the roadside, broadcast and print over 41 days.
8k–25k / day
Worldwide live viewers daily (peaks on arrivals & weekends), plus 40k–120k catch-up/reels per day and 500–2,000 daily live comments.
100k–250k
Total live roadside audience across 41 days, 200–800 in small towns, up to 5,000–20,000 in cities (PTA, Bloem, CT).
0.6–1.8M
200k–600k radio reach plus 400k–1.2M from TV inserts and evening features, boosted by launch coverage.
350k–950k
50k–150k from community papers and 300k–800k from national dailies, multiplied by shared and republished copies.
Blended across live, roadside, broadcast and print, the campaign can generate roughly R25–45 million in media-equivalent value over 41 days. Tier 1 sponsors would see R6–8 million of that, scaling down the tiers. Numbers are conservative reach estimates; spikes align with city arrivals, human-interest moments and the final Paarl event.
