NEW YORK, N.Y. – Socialbakers, the leading AI-powered social media marketing platform, announced that Crunch Fitness has selected its platform to improve the effectiveness of its social media marketing campaigns. Socialbakers gives Crunch Fitness the capability to schedule and publish posts across more than 250 social media profiles on Facebook and other sites faster than ever. Crunch Fitness has also gained new visibility into its social media campaigns with dashboards and reporting that visually display which posts perform best and which ones can be further optimized.
With more than 300 gyms around the world, Crunch Fitness is the leading brand for fitness centers that offer a ‘no judgment’ community. Before Socialbakers, Crunch was challenged with the slowness of scheduling and publishing content across hundreds of social media profiles. Now, in addition to being able to publish at scale in just seconds, Crunch has powerful new capabilities including advanced reporting, approval workflow permissions (including mobile approval), and an in-platform tech support chat. Now with Socialbakers’ dashboards and reporting, Crunch can measure results and quantify how many inquiries they received about a certain sale, club or promotion.
“Crunch Fitness is great example of how Socialbakers can help companies work faster and more effectively with social media marketing in order to increase engagement and grow their business,” said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CEO, Socialbakers. “As an innovative brand leader in their space, we are delighted that Crunch Fitness is able to use our platform to publish at scale, understand and engage with a wider audience through smarter social media campaigns.”
Because of the success of their Socialbakers implementation, Crunch Fitness has launched a pilot program that invites select franchisees to join their Socialbakers account, empowering them to create and share local content that resonates with their audience.
“We looked for the right partner to help us elevate our social media coverage and we are excited to work with Socialbakers as they align perfectly with our needs,” said Chad C. Waetzig, EVP Marketing and Branding, Crunch Fitness.
