Results and Effectiveness

We placed these stickers on over 200 locations across the UAE, from Dubai to Sharjah, grabbing pedestrian’s attention instantly. On the first day alone, FITWORX received more than 180 telephone enquiries about its home gym equipment. And by the end of our campaign, we attracted over 600 new fitness enthusiasts. Sometimes all it can take is a tiny sticker to make a positive lifestyle change.

Creative Execution

So to spread our message, we broke into people’s daily routine. Reaching them in the right place at the right time. Inspired by the classic design of gym instructions, we created a series of fitness instructions for public machines across Dubai. From ATMs to Parking Meters, we placed stickers onto these machines, making people rethink their routine in a fresh way. And if they were interested to learn more, we offered them a direct channel to contact FITWORX on the spot.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

FITWORX is a fitness equipment retailer in the UAE. FITWORX needed an unconventional approach to raise awareness for its home gym equipment. It wanted to position its machines as the ultimate workout, one that gets you real results. The target audience was everyday people in Dubai. In a city where anything can be delivered to your doorstep, where you can pick up coffee without leaving your car, it’s easy to fall into a routine in Dubai that lacks any physical fitness. This insight helped shape our creative idea and media used to reach everyday people effectively.
