By integrating a targeted Out-Of-Home (OOH) strategy in key areas of Milan and Monza with digital innovation, the campaign effectively employed Spotify ads and subway billboards, alongside guerrilla marketing tactics and strategic PR both online and offline. This multifaceted approach ensured the message penetrated the intricate web of consumer preferences with one clear objective: to resonate with the hearts of sports enthusiasts.

Adaptability and Creative Media Use

The crux of this strategy lay in its adaptability and creative media usage to reach and engage consumers in unexpected ways. For instance, guerrilla marketing in Milan, based on horizontal communication and graphics, coupled with articles on digital platforms like Milano Today, and strategic partnerships with influencers, not only broadened Sportler’s reach but also focused attention on issues the brand cares deeply about, such as sustainable practices. This was highlighted by the exclusive circular economy workshop held during the inauguration.

The Power of Multichannel Approach

Viktoria Weger – Teamlead Retail Marketing at Sportler AG, described the multichannel approach by Guru Marketing as extraordinary. In her words, “We appreciated not only your professionalism and creativity but also your ability to push us beyond the traditional marketing boundaries, guiding us in activating new and innovative channels, including the inclusion of micro-influencers who participated in the private opening, helping to create authentic engagement in line with our target audience.”

Weger also admired how the strategic planning and accurate execution of Guru’s strategy led to tangible results and extremely positive feedback from customers. The campaign’s success was measurable, not just in foot traffic and sales figures, but also in the buzz it created online and offline, fostering a community of engaged and enthusiastic customers.
