Certainly I don't have any skin in the game as I don't have a Cuts franchise nor did I create this campaign. However, I did find it clever. Also, it was a fitness survey, as they collected information from around the country to determine whether their methods reduced weight and improved fitness for their target audience, and they came up with a clever way of getting people to contribute their time for free, and even land a few extra clients as well.

A free trial is exactly that, and calling it a "fitness study" is misleading. It makes someone think that this is a scientific study, much like drug trials or university studies.

By telling people they should steal this idea I'm obviously telling them that the marketing plan is clever, not that they should actually steal anything.

I'm sure anyone clever enough to come up with this marketing idea would be clever enough to understand that. Right?
