Client:

Zumba Fitness

Objective:

Zumba Fitness, an exercise video program based on Latin music, looked to promote a new series of kids DVDs to U.S. Hispanic children of school ages. Zumba contracted Pólvora to create a promotional program that would generate awareness among kids and incentivize parents (the "gatekeepers") to purchase the DVDs.

Strategy:

Pólvora created "Zumbando" and partnered with a major food manufacturer (Kellogg's) to create a healthy lifestyle program targeting schools of high Hispanic concentration. A sales kit was developed for physical education teachers and principals with instructional materials so that the teachers could implement Zumba classes and educate their children on the importance of staying healthy. Participating schools received a visit and exhibition by "Zumba Superstars" who also distributed Zumba premiums, healthy food coupons (from the partner) and provided kids with special invitations for their parents to local supermarket exhibits where they could purchase the videos or order them online.

Creative:

The sales kit exercise routines were put together with collaboration from the national association for K-12 physical education teachers, NASPE(National Association of Sports and Physical Education). Standees were developed for all of the schools to announce the arrival of Zumba and invitations were distributed to all of the kids and their parents for the local supermarket exhibit.

HIGHLIGHTS

From three guys and an idea to millions of DVDs sold, 60,000 locations, 105 countries and 7.5 million participants weekly.
