Smarts
ASICS Colour Injection Collection
Expanding on their initial brief, the team at Smarts went above and beyond to drive spectacular results for a globally-renowned sportswear brand.
In May 2022, ASICS approached Smarts with a brief to create paid ad content for its newly launched TikTok account. It hoped to authentically capture the interest of Gen Z and welcome a new generation of consumers into the brand’s ethos.
Smarts knew that to achieve the results ASICS was looking for, creators would need to be incorporated into the campaign. The agency’s dedicated influencer and talent division, Creator Hub, transformed the paid social brief into a fully-fledged creator programme for the brand. Co-creating the content with the partners, Smarts was able to authentically engage with the target audience. The metrics prove this, with over 2,900 sales in one day alone, 2.9m impressions, and 16k clicks.
