Goal

Launch Fresh Fit, its high-protein salad, sub and wrap, to people who plan their meals around protein.

Audience

Men and women who train and watch their protein, in men's, women's and mixed gyms.

Across Salmiya, Jabriya, Mahboula, Shaab, Shuwaikh, Egaila, Hawally, Sahara, Murouj, Dasman and Kuwait City.

Result

The English creative ran where members prefer English and the Arabic one where they prefer Arabic, across our gyms.

What we did

Working closely with UM, Subway's media agency in Kuwait and part of Omnicom, one of the world's largest marketing and communications groups, we put it only in gyms, where protein is already part of the routine: men's, women's and mixed gyms, premium clubs included.

The ad showed the Chicken Teriyaki Salad Pro, the Oven Roasted Chicken Sub Pro and the Rotisserie Chicken Wrap Pro, each marked "Full of protein", under the line "Trillion ways to stay fit".

The ad came in an English and an Arabic version, each made for landscape and portrait screens, so it fit wall screens and standing screens alike.

Subway received a proof of play with photos of the ad live on the gym floors.

Takeaway

For a protein-led menu, the gym puts the message in front of people who are already thinking about what to eat after training.
