The Challenge
Runners Relief had brilliant products, but they weren’t widely known within the running community.
They didn’t want to rely on ads alone. They wanted real runners, real trust, and real visibility in the spaces that matter most.
The goal?
Introduce the brand properly to the running world and build credibility from the ground up.
What We Did
We partnered closely with Runners Relief to launch and manage a brand ambassador campaign, alongside taking over their social media presence to create consistency, community and momentum.
Our approach included:
Launching a Runners Relief Ambassador Campaign with 10 carefully selected runners who genuinely aligned with the brand.
Managing their social media channels, ensuring the brand showed up consistently and confidently.
Equipping ambassadors with exclusive perks including personal discount codes, early access to products, freebies, and discounts for running events.
Encouraging authentic content, not scripted ads — story tags, posts, reels and TikToks created by runners, for runners.
Building a trusted community, where people buy based on real experiences, not polished ad copy.
The Results
A strong ambassador-led presence across Instagram and TikTok.
Consistent story tags, posts and TikToks, increasing brand visibility organically.
A trusted running community built on shared experiences and genuine recommendations.
Increased brand awareness within the running space — without relying on ads.
People don’t buy from ads — they buy from people.
This campaign proved exactly that.
The Outcome
Runners Relief went from being a great product with low visibility to a brand backed by real runners, real stories and real trust.
Not just seen - believed in!
