Overview
The Setup
Partner: Accelerator Active Energy
Platform: Instagram & TikTok
Talent: 5 college athletes ranging from 40K–450K followers
Timeline: A 2-week turnaround activation timed to Amazon Prime Day. Five athletes were activated with content deployed across a three-to-four-day Prime Day push, tied into the brand's "National Olivia Day" moment and 4th of July programming.
The Approach
Out2Win focused on athletes whose everyday routines genuinely aligned with Accelerator — creators for whom the product was a believable part of a demanding, active lifestyle. That authenticity gave the content a way in with its audience: college students living the same reality of juggling classes and training through the summer, who could recognize themselves in it.
Outcome
The Results
Traffic tripled projections, and that momentum hit exactly where it counted, powering Accelerator's best-selling week on Amazon in 2026. The content drove more than 290,000 views and a peak asset click-through rate of 15.6%, outpacing the industry average by 7.8x.
"Our best college showing for anything we've done on Amazon."
– Lei Hookano, Senior Marketing Director, Accelerator Active Energy
