We are so proud of our Creative Director Cynthia Flores and her vision and leadership in bringing this incredible Certified Wellness Coach campaign to life. The impact speaks for itself—1M+ completed views and counting! We are excited to see NASM’s message of holistic wellness reach the right audience in such a powerful way. #NASM #Wellness #WellnessCoach
NASM's Wellness Commercial Spot: 1M+ Views & Counting Back in December, I directed a 30-second commercial for National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)'s Certified Wellness Coach Certification, now airing across Connected TV platforms, including Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, NBCU, YouTube TV, and other streaming services. The goal? To craft a compelling narrative that redefines the role of personal trainers—showing how they support not just physical fitness but the overall well-being of their clients. The results speak for themselves: • 1.2 million impressions • Strong presence across premium streaming platforms • Over 1 million completed views Let's talk about why these metrics matter in Connected TV: Premium CTV audiences are highly curated, ensuring brand safety and precise audience targeting—we reached the right viewers, not just any viewers. NASM's creative is clearly resonating, as evidenced by high engagement levels across multiple platforms. Completion rates exceeding industry benchmarks further underscore the strength and effectiveness of our strategic approach. This is why I love what I do—crafting creative that not only looks great but performs and resonates with our community. Would love to hear from fellow creatives and marketers: How do you measure success in programmatic advertising? #CreativeDirection #ConnectedTV #Marketing #Advertising #Streaming #Wellness #PersonalTraining
