Reebok, CrossFit Unfurl Global Campaign
Keywords: Integrated Marketing

CrossFit, the largely grassroots-fueled fitness trend, is getting its first major marketing injection from its partnership with Reebok, with a new TV campaign that kicked off during the NFL playoffs.

Themed "The Sport of Fitness Has Arrived," the McGarryBowen spot shows off a helicopter-supported shipping container hovering over cities like Moscow, Seoul and Barcelona. Once it lands, it opens to reveal the CrossFit box in action: A frenzy of men and women weight-lifting, jumping rope, swinging kettle bells and pumping out pull-ups and handstand push-ups.

Webinar This Week: Addressing Objections to Integrated Marketing Solutions

Prospects raise objections because they have questions about your credibility, the solution your station is offering, and its true value for their money.

In this information-packed webinar, RAB's Brandeis C. Hall will show you how to spot the most common objections in advance, create a conversation that keeps the client moving forward, identify the client's TRUE objection(s), and offer ideas for persuading the customer without seeming pushy.

This presentation will be offered twice this week -- tomorrow at 3 PM (Central), and again on Thursday at 10 AM (Central). For more information, click here.
