Campaign Story

Asics launched a new footwear collection and needed a structured, high-frequency activation programme that would drive consumer awareness and trial across key sports retail partners in two markets simultaneously. FLC managed the entire activation process across both the UAE and KSA, deploying trained brand representatives to specific store locations on a regular weekly schedule. In the UAE, activations ran at Go Sports, Sun & Sands, and Drop Kick every Saturday and Sunday. In Saudi Arabia, activations were held at El Falleh, Sun & Sands, and Drop Kick across the same period. Running from 1 September to 22 October 2023, the campaign created a consistent brand presence at point of purchase precisely when footfall in these stores was highest. Each store activation generated a total reach of 1,800 consumers and 1,100 direct interactions, delivering meaningful product education and purchase consideration at scale across both markets.

Key Takeaways

  • Scheduling activations on peak traffic days (Saturday and Sunday) maximises reach and interaction rates at retail partners.
  • Running identical activation formats across two markets creates efficiency in training, deployment, and performance benchmarking.
  • Consistent weekly presence builds cumulative brand awareness more effectively than a single high-intensity event.
  • Deploying across multiple retail partners simultaneously ensures broad market coverage without over-reliance on any one retailer.
