A Brand from Scratch
Formula Running Center (FRC) is a first-of-its-kind runner and endurance athlete focused facility combining performance enhancing training, high performance recovery, assessments and educational services all under one roof.
Arillic was hired to develop the entire marketing portfolio for the brand. Arillic began with research to develop the feasibility of the market and understand potential customers and stakeholders. From there, Arillic rolled all research into a marketing and advertising plan along with a full brand image (logo, color scheme, font kits, brand guide, and more). Arillic then executed on that marketing and advertising plan to have a successful launch with press, media rollout, and key partners; develop lead generating mechanisms like social media ads; creating Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) through automated emails and tools; and serving as the agency of record for the brand as it grew. Arillic has also helped stand-up a virtual class offering during COVID.
