Context
GROWL, formerly BoxCo, is a Franco-American start-up with an ambitious mission: to make the power of boxing accessible to everyone, and at home. Their product combines personalized boxing and fitness coaching with an immersive, gamified experience.
After several months of development, GROWL was ready to unveil this new product. To support this strategic launch, a 360° marketing campaign was planned, including online advertising, media coverage, collaborations with influencers such as Ciryl Gane, and relay on social networks. At the heart of this strategy, an immersive, product-centric website was to play a key role in reinforcing the perceived value of the product and generating first-time customers.
