Genuine to 'Spartan Up' Digital Media Campaign for Spartan Race

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwired - Jan 26, 2016) - Genuine, a full-service digital-first agency, announced it has been tapped by the hugely popular obstacle-race-turned-lifestyle brand Spartan Race to enhance and maximize its digital reach. The agency's digital campaign will focus on performance driven media strategies, such as paid search, campaign and conversion optimization and new ad platforms. The campaign is designed to spur race registration and merchandise sales in relevant and new geographies as the race expands its global footprint.

Born out of a grassroots effort to inspire individuals to challenge themselves and overcome adversity, Spartan Race has grown in just five years to include one million participants in over 20 countries. It is a digital-born global phenomenon that now encompasses a televised series on NBC with sponsorships from premier brands such as Reebok, Spartan-branded merchandise and a specialized Spartan SGX training program. 

"The Spartan Race is exactly the kind of brand we seek to team up with here at Genuine," said Carl Schwartz, VP of Digital Media for Genuine. "It's an ambitious brand that actively embraces the rapid pace of change to affect good, and it's the type of challenge that fuels us. The Genuine team is excited to leverage our deep expertise in lead generation and sales-driving strategies for an aspirational and next generation brand like The Spartan Race."
