Leveraging influencer marketing to drive brand engagement

Remix Your Workout

From running to training, ASICSโ€™ fuzeX TR shoe was designed to provide a versatile, all-in-one premium workout experience. Red Door was tasked with telling this unique story.

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.

Bianca Jade // Mizzfit Bianca is a well-known TV host and fitness enthusiast who remixed her workout with boxing gloves and a jump rope.

 

I was born to jump rope! But on a rooftop? I remixed my routine and gave it a go in my fuzeX TR™ shoes from @ASICS, made for any kind of workout. Watching the sunset over New York City was the perfect compliment to this cardio blast of a workout. Just 20 minutes of jumping rope can burn over 200 calories, and you can build muscle, too, with a weighted rope like the one I’m using. I like to power through in my fuzeX TR™ shoes with 40 minutes of non-stop varied footwork. From high jumps to lateral jumps to single leg jumps, I do it all! Enter the ASICS Remix Your Workout Challenge TO WIN A PAIR by reposting this pic or one that shows me how you’ll break a sweat in fuzeX TR™ shoes. (This is not an ASICS sponsored contest. I’ll be selecting the winner myself.) #ad ๐Ÿ“ธby the 1&only @twkeyes (my amazing friend)

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.
