iFit is a streaming fitness service. Their clever tech allows users to stream high-quality, gym-style workouts. Customers are able to go on personalised fitness journeys with expert trainers as if they’re in the world’s most beautiful locations. iFit also owns the Nordic Track brand, so customers can combine smart software with top of the range workout equipment. Given the scale of their ambition, iFit needed a partner used to hitting the ground running.
Craft Words were asked to help after we’d impressed iFit’s Chief Marketing Officer on a previous project. The company was also reassured by our credentials in sport, having earned our spurs on brands like Nike, Oceans Apart, and Dunlop. As well as working with famous tech brands including Apple and Microsoft. (Clearly the place where sport and tech meet is Craft’s sweet spot.)
iFit were in a hurry. They wanted to grow as fast as possible, to make themselves the go-to brand in smart tech-powered home exercise. They knew therefore, that they needed to be as visible as possible to anyone searching for fitness equipment. And they wanted to produce content that established them as leaders. That’s where Craft came in.
To make sure we could keep up with iFit’s ambitions, Craft needed to create an approach for researching and writing a huge quantity of articles quickly. Obviously this is easy to promise and much harder to deliver, with so many lined up to go through the studio at a fast pace. However, we successfully designed a system that ensured we wrote everything to a high quality. As well as checking it extremely thoroughly.
The result is that Craft pumped out a lot of quality content in a short space of time. We enjoyed demonstrating how nimble and scaleable our operation can be. And our client was extremely happy with the speed and quality of our output.
