Merkley+Partners Named AOR For Fitness Brand Performix

Omnicom Group’s Merkley+Partners has been awarded agency of record duties for health and fitness brand Performix after an informal review.

It’s the first time the brand has named an AOR and the assignment is effective immediately.

The agency, based in New York, will provide strategy, brand advertising and media planning and buying and data and analytics services across the client’s business lines.

Merkley will service the brand from its New York office but also have talent on-site at the Performix House gym, also in New York to activate social strategy and content generation.

Performix is best known for its line of supplements sold directly and through retailers. In addition to Performix House, it operates the veteran’s foundation FitOps, a training and certification program for veterans who want to become certified personal trainers.
