The launch of Building 2012 signals the start of our coverage of the Olympic year and will run across all facets of the Building brand up until, and beyond, the London Olympic Games. We will be providing Olympic themed coverage every week in print, online and through social media.
We will be exploring progress made, covering milestone moments and analysing what’s still left to do in the lead up to the Games as well as considering and investigating post-Olympic legacy.
And we will be launching a search for the ultimate Building 2012 Hero in the next few weeks – so watch this space. To follow or comment on our campaign coverage on Twitter at #BLD2012
