At the beginning of 2020, BlueIvy Communications was tasked to rebrand Slash Fitness. The gym was known locally as an intense, challenging and somewhat intimidating fitness studio and its owners needed its brand to demonstrate Slash’s wide range of offerings and appeal to exercise enthusiasts at all fitness levels.
BlueIvy’s first challenge was to create a new website and marketing materials that would pivot the brand away from muscled young men and women and speak to a broader audience.
The BlueIvy-created platform allowed Slash owners to promote their protocols that would keep members and the community safe, focusing on their online workouts that would keep the business viable until they were allowed to fully reopen.
BlueIvy continued its marketing an PR efforts throughout the pandemic to reassure current and future members that Slash’s safety protocols would keep them safe. As South Florida returned to normal, Slash discovered that the agency’s efforts supported their renewed ramp-up and rebrand.
With Florida totally reopened, BlueIvy employed branding exercises to determine Slash’s targeted demographic and developed a plan that would appeal to them. The BlueIvy team created a completely new website, offering a softer color scheme, friendlier faces and welcoming content that makes it clear that Slash a gym for everyone. The new website launched in January 2021 with a new logo, attracting fanfare from members and local business leaders.
