Strategy

XXL Nutrition's strategy revolves around building brand awareness in Germany by spotlighting their standout product, WHEY ISOLATE ZERO, through influencer collaborations. By partnering with The Cirqle, XXL Nutrition contracted 14 German fitness and sports influencers to showcase the unique selling points of WHEY ISOLATE ZERO through Instagram Reels and Carousels. Converting this content into Paid Partnership Ads enabled XXL Nutrition to significantly reduce their awareness Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Results

The collaboration with 14 creators enabled XXL Nutrition to amass a total of 28 creatives for paid media utilization. Utilizing The Cirqle platform's campaign creation widget, XXL Nutrition launched a new ad campaign on Meta, following The Cirqle’s recommended structure that leverages creator-based audiences to enhance campaign performance.
