Description
Find an original way to announce the launch of Retro Aerobics at Virgin Active Health Clubs
Execution
We decided to focus on one of the most popular symbols of classic 80s aerobics – leg warmers. We decided to do leg warmer yarn bombs. What is yarn bombing? Yarn bombing is friendly graffiti. Placing bits of knitting, guerilla-style (without official permission) in public spaces as a form of public art. We chose strategic sites to yarn bomb on important dates and knitted leg warmers to represent each occasion. Pictures of each yarn bomb spread virally and with it the word about Retro Aerobics
Outcome
108% occupancy of launch classes nationally
