Our Roots
Health and Fitness Activations was founded to answer a need…a need for speed. Wait no, a need for passion.
Jessica Shields, the founder of Health and Fitness Activations, is an avid marathoner. She knows how far hard work, determination, and passion can take you. And when she was in your shoes, using an agency to support her at experiential marketing events and in store product sampling, she was disappointed in what she saw.
The agencies didn’t seem to “get it.” The activation ideas lacked inspiration and brand relevance. The salespeople and brand ambassadors had little to no passion or education on the brand. She wanted an agency that created memorable experiential marketing events staffed with brand ambassadors who could sell without “selling” because their desire to share what made this brand amazing naturally spilled out in every conversation.
So, she set off to create this agency. Building on what she learned in 10 years as an experiential marketing manager and brand ambassador and 7 years in CPG sales, Jessica created a high-touch agency to connect brands with their target consumers at events designed to bring the brand to life. Her team’s passion for health and wellness, organization, and hand-selected brand ambassadors make Health and Fitness Activations stand out in the field marketing space.
