Implementing a mix of earned and paid media, Motion garners consistent results for Gladiator. In addition to securing traditional media placements with top-tier newspapers and magazines, the Motion team keeps Gladiator top-of-mind by incorporating the brand into satellite media tours, influencer activations and content partnerships, including one with an American television personality about their garage storage habits.
Motion partnered with social media influencers “The IT Mom” and “The IT Dad” to develop video content featuring an American television personality. Gladiator outfitted their garage with Gladiator product and interviewed them about their organizational habits. Video content was shared by Gladiator, The IT Mom and Dad, as well as on the television personality’s own social channels. Over 817,275 viewers were reached in total from the video series and they finally had a fully functional garage.
Motion facilitated Gladiator’s first-ever New York City deskside tour to connect business reporters with the brand. Motion coordinated interviews with reporters and Josh Gitlin, General Manager for the Gladiator Division. The tour netted two placements in Wall Street Journal and FOX Business, yielding more than 110 million cumulative impressions.
