I’ve done before.

Peloton began with a consumer insight…

PEOPLE WANT TO WANT TO WORK OUT…

“There are feelings partway through rides, where you are in a

good groove and you feel like you can keep going. I feel strong

and empowered.”

- JERI, CONSUMER

“There is a satisfaction in knowing that you have accomplished

something. Post muscle fatigue means results. It shows

commitment.”

KELLY, CONSUMER

HOWEVER…

COMMITTING IS THE HARD PART

”I don’t go to SoulCycle… there’s all these incredibly fit gay

men there that I don’t wanna keep up with, and I don’t want

them to insult me either.”

- KARA, CONSUMER

Brand & Acquisition used to work in parallel, but not together

BRAND

● Briefed creative team

for new campaign

assets

● Approved creative for

deployment

● Repeated process for

next campaign

ACQUISITION

● Deployed creative from

brand/creative team

based on sales goals

● Tracked performance

● Optimized spend behind

assets to achieve sales

targets

● Repeated process for

next campaign

Page 20: The Intersection Between Digital Marketing / Acquisition & Brand Marketing

Brand & Acquisition now work lockstep in virtuous cycle

BRAND

priorities & acquisition

• Results driven by seasonal creative, prospecting efforts prior to holiday, and efficiency in

media buys

Feedback loop allowed for optimizations to both copy and creative

LEARNING

Male model performs better than female model

ACTION

Create more assets featuring male model, with

similar message but slightly different copy

LEARNING

Rider testimonials are powerful tools

ACTION

Use same video creative but update copy to

feature real rider quotes / reasons

Page 24: The Intersection Between Digital Marketing / Acquisition & Brand Marketing

The entire cross-functional team worked in the feedback loop developed for brand

& acquisition

Why is this optimized hand-in-hand approach important?Key Takeaways

● Both media & brand priorities should inform creative. We should tell the brand story while

optimizing towards measurable metrics

○ Media buy will inform creative, creative will inform media buy & targeting

○ Allows us to succeed even with two slightly different goals (brand telling the key

story / building equity, and acquisition focused on performance metrics)

● Digital as a medium allows for quick adjustments to creative (as opposed to other media

channels), which results in better performance

● Can create multiple versions of creative appealing to different targets & segments

● Real-time learnings help inform creative in other channels

‣ The first image of

the bike, usually on

social media or a

commercial on TV,

is often arresting,

and sparks action

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT,

CONTINUING TO

DREAM

‣ The super emotive

“love” phase, when

consumers are

dreaming about the

bike and what it would

be like to own one

PLEASED, THEN

ANXIOUS &

IMPATIENT

‣ There is an uptick in

excitement when the

order is placed, but

the gap in time

between payment

and the first ride can

inspire anxiety.

FEELING THE PULL

OF REALITY

‣ The “fact-finding”

phase, when

considerations

become sharply

practical, and the

focus is on

pragmatic, logistical

questions
