The list honors apparel manufacturing brands moving the fashion industry forward in the areas of marketing and manufacturing. The winning campaigns, powered by Digital Retail Marketing Platform, Promoboxx , have transformed both brands’ ability to extend their reach by engaging and marketing through independent retailers. With Timberland, its efforts on the Hazel Highway campaign won the lifestyle brand industry recognition.

Leveraging Promoboxx, Timberland invited local, independent retailers to promote the automatically customized Hazel Highway content on key digital channels. The lifestyle brand further incentivized each retailer to share out Hazel Highway by awarding participating retailers with local advertising dollars via Promoboxx Match .

The ads extended the reach of Timberland and its niche retailers by 1.3 million consumers over previous efforts. Timberland’s Director of North America Marketing, Cassie Heppner, comments: “[Promoboxx and its Match program] is a great way to advertise outside the retail space and reach consumers on their mobile devices, which is where they’re spending most of their time anyway.” Mizuno Running won recognition for its communityfocused What If Everybody Ran campaign, where via Promoboxx, hundreds of specialty running shops were able to spread

Apparel Magazine Names Promoboxx Clients Timberland and Mizuno Top Marketing Innovators  

BOSTON, May 06, 2015 ­ Timberland and Mizuno Running made the Apparel Magazine  list of Top Innovators for 2015. The list honors apparel manufacturing brands moving the fashion 

industry forward in the areas of marketing and manufacturing.  

 

The winning campaigns, powered by Digital Retail Marketing Platform, Promoboxx, have transformed both brands’ ability to extend their reach by engaging and marketing through 

independent retailers. 

 

With Timberland, its efforts on the Hazel Highway campaign won the lifestyle brand industry recognition. For niche audiences (urban and rural), the key to success was telling the 

“re­inspired,” classic boot collection story in an unexpected way: via mass one­to­one 

customization of independent retailers’ digital marketing content. 

 

Leveraging Promoboxx, Timberland invited local, independent retailers to promote the 

automatically customized Hazel Highway content on key digital channels. The lifestyle brand 

further incentivized each retailer to share out Hazel Highway by awarding participating 

retailers with local advertising dollars via Promoboxx Match . The advertising dollars were spent on local mobile ads, flighted digitally and in real­time. The ads extended the reach of 

Timberland and its niche retailers by 1.3 million consumers over previous efforts. 

 

Timberland’s Director of North America Marketing, Cassie Heppner, comments: “[Promoboxx 

and its Match program] is a great way to advertise outside the retail space and reach 

consumers on their mobile devices, which is where they’re spending most of their time 

anyway.” 

 

Mizuno Running won recognition for its community­focused What If Everybody Ran 

campaign, where via Promoboxx, hundreds of specialty running shops were able to spread

the #IfEverybodyRan message in their local communities. To further inspire, Mizuno created a 

mobile app that tracks a user’s run, converting miles to dollars for charity.  

 

Mizuno, leveraging retailer participation for overall gain, experienced, “110 percent growth in 

U.S. unique visitors to its website compared to March 2013 traffic, its Facebook followers 

increased by more than 25 percent in the first two weeks following the launch of the campaign 

and Twitter engagement increased by 121 percent in March 2014 vs. February 2014,” says 

Kim Hoey, Mizuno USA’s running division brand marketing director. 

 

“We’re incredibly thrilled to see clients Timberland and Mizuno being honored for their digital 

approach to co­marketing with local, independent retailers. Both brands are committed to the 

success of making their retailers better marketers and in turn creating better business 

people,” states Sonciary Honnoll, SVP and Co­Founder at Promoboxx.
