PLYOJAM
Plyojam was in need of strategic and creative structure. We worked with Jason Layden, the creator of the hot Los Angeles dance workout to lock the brand in step with the ambitions of its leadership.
We produced a full workout DVD, and handled its publication and distribution via Amazon, and added a nutritional e-book, designed and produced merchandise, retooled the website to include e-commerce, and dance instructor profiles, and prepared the development for advanced membership programs for instructor training and certification.
Sarah Robles
Olympic medalist, Sarah Robles reached out to us for assistance in her sponsorship planning and social communications surrounding Rule 40 of the Olympic Charter that tightly regulates athlete publicity and media during the Olympic period.
Crisis Communications
Between her first and second quadrennial games performance, Robles returned to WMLM facing a sanction from the International Weightlifting Federation, for failing a drug test.
We worked with Sarah to tell her side of the story publicly. Working with Buzzfeed and ESPN we coordinated her public statements with friendly media. Robles, who suffers from PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), was working with her medical team to treat the symptoms of the conditions, and despite seeking a waiver from the IWF, she was denied. Nevertheless she sought the hormonal treatment resulting in a two year suspension from the sport that was her career.
Robles took the suspension on the chin, with protest, and went on to earn bronze
in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
