BACKGROUND:
Secret, along with Marina Maher Communications, partnered with 64-year-old swimmer Diana Nyad and her team to document an unprecedented journey in real-time through social media, giving the world an exclusive and never-before-seen window into what Nyad vowed would be her last attempt at the 110-mile swim from Florida to Cuba.

OBJECTIVE:
Drive engagement around #FearlessNyad via real-time social media takeover

THE EXECUTION:
In order to capture each moment live, our team focused on Twitter to drive conversation, fueled by a new (at the time) keyword targeting feature for Twitter ads. Secret handed over its handle to Diana's team before and during parts of her swim, while also responding to fan/consumer conversations, promoting tweets along the way, particularly at key moments of her swim.

RESULTS:
PR News: Digital PR Award Winner
