Amplifying the Campaign
The challenge for Acceleration Partners was to amplify the campaign reach through the brand's affiliate marketing program following the campaign launch in a Super Bowl commercial on February 1st.
Strategy & Approach
Selected affiliates for product reviews that incorporated the campaign language.
Implemented VIP placements on high-volume coupon and discount websites.
Identified affiliates to host giveaways that encouraged their audiences to engage with the campaign for an opportunity to win a gift card. For example, one giveaway asked each entrant to post of a photo of him or her trying a new fitness activity.
Secured a number of content placements with select affiliates, including homepage banners, email newsletters, sponsored posts and social media mentions.
