Sally Branding – Healthy, Active, Fit & Fun

Apart from Sally’s sponsors branding, Sally has become a brand and celebrity in her own right with regular requests for appearances at charity and sporting events, guest speaking appearances, radio interviews and TV spots on Sports, lifestyle and game shows and Red Bull commercials.

The Sally brand represents a fun, active and healthy lifestyle. Someone who is willing to work hard and push their own personal limits to achieve goals.

Sally has been recognised by the Government as a suitable role model for the youth of Australia. Selected as an Australian Youth Week Ambassador in 2012, she is to be the face of another Government campaign soon.

Sally and PR

Sally has been working with ARC Factory and Magnum PR the past 6 years and has achieved some excellent placement in non-endemic area; Cosmo, Cleo, Girl Friend, MX, STAB magazines along with Body & Soul and other Newspaper Sunday supplements have all been achieved.

Web Site and Social Media

Red Bull Australia invested $30,000 into building & maintaining www.sallyfitzgibbons.com [Domain owned by Sally]

The site serves as a good reference/archival site complementing Twitter and Facebook but there is definitely room for further activation.

All sponsors need to contribute quality content and imagery and will then benefit from bi-directional traffic.

Sally’s Yahoo7 Lifestyle Blog (ESPN have also asked) provides an opportunity for a range of topics to complement trips, campaigns and product as well as contests. Article reach 200K+

Sally’s current web site is to be revamped in a more Blog style in 2013 similar to Mick Fanning’s. There is room for a potential collaboration with Red Bull to provide quality imagery

Sally is Queen of the social media in the surfing world. She is in the Top 10 Most Influential under the age of 30 Social Media people in Australia, recently recognised by Tom Waterhouse. With 40K+ followers Sally wields some influence.

Social Media Effect – Facebook

Facebook is still a hugely influential marketing area. Sally’s Fan Page could be better managed and linked into her major sponsors. Her weekly reach fluctuates between 25K and 300K+ when she is involved in and winning events. Instagram numbers are improving (10K+) but we were late adopters.

Social Media Effect - KLOUT

Klout is a social media measure that combines a number of media sources to attempt to measure the influence of a user on the network by the individual. It is not only about the amount of followers but effective interaction. Sally ranks #2 of all male and female surfers behind Slater (KLOUT - 83).
