How corporates use sports stars to enhance social media campaigns

    Solution

    Beverage company 3i Black Water had recently released their newest product to the market and was looking to boost brand awareness.

    After researching how to best connect with sporting talent, 3i Black Water jumped on to Pickstar and submitted a brief. Pickstar then reached out to their database of more than 1300 athletes to seek interest in 3i Black Water’s social media campaign.

    Following a strong response from athletes from a variety of sporting codes, AFL footballer Jay Schulz, swimmer Shayna Jack and beach volleyballer Mariafe Artacho Del Solar were selected.

      Outcome

      3i's new product was seen by more than 60,000 people and the posts generated thousands of interactions with potential customers.

      Swimmer Shayna Jack’s image of her drinking the product in front of the pool had more than 2000 likes alone, while Del Solar had more than 750 likes and comments on her image.
