“The IMPACT Awards exemplify best-in-class creativity, expertise and results achieved by the top practitioners of Internet marketing across every business segment as well as non-profits, government and education,” said IMA Chairman Sinan Kanatsiz. “IMA is a unique resource for top professionals. Our fundamental goal is to build the leadership that will continue to drive this dynamic industry.”

The Simply Fit Board 21-Day Challenge (https://www.simplyfit21.com/) was designed for Simply Fit Board users to kick-start their fitness goals in 2017. Due to the success of the four January 2017 challenges, 21-Day Challenges have continued from February 2017 to date. Alongside the 21-Day Challenge website, Facebook groups were created to build social communities for each challenge date and its participants. Only organic social media was used to promote the challenge, along with spokesperson trainer Rosalie Brown sharing details via her social profiles to secure submissions.

Marketing Maven exceeded the goal of 1,500 unique submissions, garnering 8,908 entries and 14,265,876 total impressions to date. Such a positive outcome with the first 21-Day Challenge that we hosted additional 21-Day Challenges for Simply Fit Board users to share with their friends and families. This encouraged additional product sales, with 43,000 product link clicks coming from the 21-Day Challenge. These challenges also resulted in a 28.66% fan increase on Simply Fit Board social media pages.

“This social media strategy stemmed from the need for user-generated content then accelerated into multiple 21-Day Challenges based on consumer demand. We are grateful to have Allstar Products Group as a client because they allow us to brainstorm then execute. The success of this campaign was due to collaboration and thoughtful execution. It is an honor to be recognized by the Internet Marketing Association at the IMPACT 17 event,” said Lindsey Carnett, CEO and president of Marketing Maven.

The IMPACT17 event also offered an extraordinary array of high-impact keynote presentations, breakout sessions and panels on topics across the spectrum of Internet marketing, Startup and Pitch Challenge, Women Leaders Group and a reception at the Intrigue ultra-lounge at Wynn Resort.
