Reebok launches first-ever Instagram-based virtual run through San Francisco
CANTON, Mass. – April 14, 2015– Global fitness leader Reebok launched Hunt For The Pump – the first-ever Instagram-based virtual run through San Francisco that offers fans the chance to win a pair of all-new Reebok ZPump Fusion.
The inventive social game, hosted entirely on Instagram, drops players into a first person urban run around the streets of San Francisco, taking them on a journey to various inspirational landmarks. Beginning at a specially designed Instagram account acting as the start line for the run – @zpump_startingline – users will search the account’s grid of photographs in a hunt for the iconic Pump ball which will be hidden within the images.
Once The Pump ball has been found on the picture, consumers simply like the photo and click the associated tag on The Pump ball to go to the next Instagram account, continuing the “run”. Once users find and click all The Pump balls, like each photo and reach the finish line, they have the chance to enter the draw to win a pair of new Reebok ZPump Fusion.
“Hunt For The Pump is an original and creative way for Reebok to use Instagram to reward the running community and have some fun with the platform. San Francisco is one of the greatest running cities in the world and Hunt For The Pump showcases some great landmarks featured in the images. I think people are going to get a real kick out of it and look forward to seeing how successful it can be,” said Yan Martin, Vice President of Global Brand Communications – Reebok.
The Hunt For The Pump has begun and will continue until May 11 2015. @Reebok and various athletes and celebrities are sharing the @zpump_startingline account to their followers. More information on the hunt is available at www.reebok.com/huntforthepump, which guides users to the starting line, and tracks their progress.
