Out with the old.

Indoor climbers make interesting customers; they are young, educated as well as health conscious. However, reaching them in a meaningful way has limited options.

  • Event Sponsorship - high cost, limited scale, short lived impact

  • Social Media - Rising costs and dropping conversion rates.

  • Specialist Media - Older reader demographics. Limited interactivity. Costly for reach.

  • In-gym posters - No data capture

  • Product demos - costly to do at large scale

In with Native Advertising.

Native advertising doesn't interrupt the users activity, it enhances it. Gamification and positive psychology bring an association of positivity with the brand or product. Personalisation multiplies this effect.

  • Seamless - there is little interruption to their activity

  • Active - Incentivisation for engaging or sharing with others

  • Social - achievements are visible to others building peer support and organic reach

  • Authentic - Users get rewards, recognition for activities that are already valuable to them

How it works.

We understand each campaign need is different. We are able to tailor challenges to target regions, demographics, specific gyms and roll out over custom time lines.

What people are saying.

"Using the Griptonite challenge format allowed us to reward engagement in a way that felt natural to climbers. The platform was straightforward to use, the team were easy to work with, and the level of participation exceeded our expectations."
