The challenge
ASICS created a unique product that combined their knowledge of running footwear wit the need for a training show for the modern fitness explorer. They needed our help getting the story out to the right audience.
Our Approach
We created the Remix Your Workout challenge, inviting eight prominent social media influencers to participate in three different workouts in one week, ultimately showing the versatility of the fuzeX TR sneaker.

Results
By building positive relationships with the chosen influencers, the campaign helped ASICS reach their target demographic of 25-34 year olds at a lower cost. Cost per engagement reached $.05, 85% lower than the average cost per engagement for paid social on branded channels. Providing gear that resonated with these influencers resulted in the integration of the product in their lifestyle beyond the challenge. Additional posts featuring the product created further brand recognition for ASICS.
