Loop’d
This inaugural winter partnership was a huge success. It’s no secret that Loop’d is a popular action sports social networking site, the myspace of action sports if you will. We coordinated and executed a photo submission contest to Colorado users of the website.  Promotion included a creative build-out that lived on the homepage of Loop’d and a custom Winter X Games 13 profile page with pertinent event info, web banners, and external links to x games entities. This was also reinforced with placement through Transworld online (web blast to 150K + subscribers and 200,000 impressions via web banner placement.  Around 300 photo submissions were collected from regional users across the nation, the top three were chosen and winners were given pipe-suite passes and Winter X Games 13 gear.
