Trilith: A New Brand is Born

The first thing we had to do was get Chipolo in front of journalists, and ensure they knew what set Chipolo apart from other trackers such as the colourful design and removable battery. We also wanted to show the versatility of the range of products and fix our place in the shopping pages.

We positioned Chipolo trackers as the perfect present, whether it’s for Christmas, Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, for the millions who lose items – especially when the average person spends three days a year searching for their belongings!

We identified which Chipolo tracking device would resonate with different press, and their readers, then conducted a big media drive to secure reviews and product placement on shopping pages and gift guides. We secured coverage across Evening Standard, Metro, Lonely Planet, the Sunday Express and much more.

For the launch of Chipolo fruit edition, the cutest fruit themed trackers, we put together the ultimate summer kit as a reminder that holidays and festivals can quickly become memorable for all the wrong reasons when you lose your things.

“The PR created understood the importance of creating a great community… and the importance that a tracker on your keys or purse needs to be fun and stylish if you’re taking it with you everywhere”

Founded in Australia in 2012, F45 Training is one of the fastest growing fitness franchises in the world, but brand awareness in the US market lagged behind its other key regions. F45 engaged with Clarity to up-level share of voice in the fitness sector and drive both franchise sales and new member signups.

Clarity proposed a communications reset, beginning with building a strong foundation from the ground up in the US market. This included refreshing the corporate messaging to appeal to a US audience, building a multi-pronged media relations strategy to get spokespeople in front of the right reporters, and integrating with F45’s in-house marketing team to ensure all external facing initiatives laddered up to its larger business objectives.

Clarity began by executing full court press to increase visibility among tier one media while being very precious with the leadership bench to ensure all secured coverage would be directly responsible for moving the needle (a strict quality over quantity approach).

“Clarity’s work has been invaluable to the growth of F45 Training’s brand recognition in the U.S. market, and the team consistently delivered on-target coverage over the course of their tenure.”
Mitchell Raisch, CMO, F45 Training

Clarity also overhauled the corporate narrative and identified timely initiatives/announcements to both generate a steady drumbeat of coverage across both national and local market press and to drive new members to studios.

The team also supported with on-the-ground press and influencer events, including initiatives for key partnerships with brands like APL and investors like Mark Wahlberg. Clarity also worked with select reporters to bring them into the studios to experience the F45 difference for themselves and convert them into true fans of the brand.
