A-Champs. Playing the game at the next level.

Helping a niche training solution beloved by semi-pros become a global home fitness contender.

Based in Barcelona, A-Champs is a sports tech brand that has attracted significant investment based on the adoption by many of Europe’s semi-professional soccer teams like Barcelona FC. But its ambition was to help people all over the world move and train better, not just superstars.

The challenge

How do you launch a European sports tech in a cut-throat US market against the likes of Peloton?

The insights

We’ve been training to think that while sport can be fun, training should be hard, and serious. As a result, many fitness enthusiasts ‘sleep train’ leading to plateaus, reduced motivation and limited results.

The breakthrough

We will need to tap into performance culture and create a desire for a new way to train.

The unique nature of the product, training programs and content leveraged a unique aspect of training – the power of playful unpredictably.

We would turn training into play.

The brand idea

Where does youth advertising go when social gets harder to reach?

The new scarcity is judgement

Smart glasses, gaze data and the future of privacy
