We connected the client's Hubspot to all forms throughout the site using a custom integration that tracks where users are coming from and which channels convert best.
Fitness is all about action, and we used After Effects to produce high-quality video backgrounds that look beautiful and load quickly, each under 30mb with full HD resolution.
The goal was simple: break away from the overly-hardcore aesthetic that's become such a cliche in strength sports by replacing it with a clean, modern, and "scientific" aesthetic.
With no brand manual to reference, we had to start from scratch. Moreover, we'd have to identify a way to hint at a "scientific" look without any literal imagery like molecules or math symbols, would be cliche in their own right.
We borrowed the classic electric blue used in STEM textbooks across the globe coupled with "Techy" fonts like Exo and Rubik, using hexagons and thin lines in a subtle reference to organic chemistry diagrams.
