THE ASK: Nike was launching their biggest running shoe of the year, but budgets were tight. So how do you impress New York’s press and tastemakers on a shoestring?
OUR SOLUTION: There’s a formula to press previews: cool venue + fun displays + catering. But rather than run jaded editors through another rinse & repeat press event, we opted to run them through the streets of NYC.
We used the city itself to tell the shoe's story. From branded graffiti to a massage parlor takeover, hidden moments brought the the gritty world of We Fly (the overarching campaign) to life.
MY ROLE:
-
Developed, pitched, and sold the concepts/executions
-
Oversaw execution to maintain creative vision

It all started with a takeover of Nom Wah, Chinatown's oldest tea parlor

To talk tech, we turned Nike's diagrams into a reflexology chart + used a massage parlour as our visual aid
huh?

For the campaign reel, we transformed the streets into our screening room with an LED screen truck
that a wheelie tv?

A rooftop party with an incredible sunset view awaited them at the end of the run
