One million samples, nationwide
College Marketing Co. ran a national sampling campaign for Premier Protein, combining in-store demos, gym activations, and health-focused event marketing into a single coordinated program. The campaign was built to reach health-conscious consumers wherever they already were, at the gym, in the grocery aisle, and at community fitness events, rather than relying on a single channel or a single moment. The in-store demo component put College Marketing Co. staff inside retail locations across the country, sampling product directly to shoppers at the shelf and answering questions about ingredients, protein content, and use cases. Running in parallel, gym activations placed staff inside fitness facilities to reach an audience already primed for a protein-focused product, pairing sampling with brand conversation in a setting where the product's core promise, fueling an active day, was immediately relevant. College Marketing Co. scaled the program to a national footprint in 2024, coordinating staffing, sampling, and activation logistics across thousands of retail locations and hundreds of gym partnerships. The campaign's reach extended into measurable shifts in purchase intent among consumers who sampled the product, with over a million samples distributed as part of the broader push. Across every channel, from the retail floor to the gym floor, the program stayed anchored to Premier Protein's core positioning as a health and nutrition brand built for people fueling an active lifestyle. College Marketing Co. coordinated staffing and logistics nationwide so the brand could show up consistently in the places its target consumer already spent time, rather than treating sampling as a one-off event.
