In 2012, the full-service advertising agency McKinney created a new brand positioning and communications campaign entitled ‘Strong,’ designed to build Gold’s Gym brand further. Gold’s wanted to roll out the latest campaign to their entire chain of franchises to ensure brand consistency. Still, they were worried about the cost of localizing the marketing materials for over 700 gyms.
Gold’s Gym is an international chain of gyms founded in Venice Beach, California, in 1965. It gained legendary status in the fitness world when it became the setting for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film Pumping Iron. Operating in over 700 locations on six continents, Gold’s Gym is ranked as the number one full-service fitness franchise in the world.
