A revolution is occurring Asia. The traditional male-dominated society is vanishing; and in it’s wake a new generation of young, assertive women prevails. Knowing this, Nike released their new line of Sister Ones Crosstrainers - a shoe that dares women to, literally and figuratively, chase their dreams. We created a 360 campaign that sent our women a clear message - you need not look elsewhere for inspiration, for you possess the inner strength to become your own superhero.

When I train in my Sister Ones+, my inner-strength pushes to the surface. Inspired by natural motion studies, they support how I am meant to move. Light and strong, they propel me from reality to possibility. Flexible and buoyant, they let me go in any direction, so I can become anything. And in this moment, I become champion.

When I train in my Sister Ones+, I leave behind who I am and catch up to who I will become. Inspired by natural motion studies, they support how I am meant to move. Light and strong, they let me race ahead of any obstacle. Flexible and buoyant, they let me go in any direction, so I can become anything. And in this moment, I become speed.

When I train in my Sister Bolds+, I defy physics. Thanks to the ergonomic design, they support how I am meant to move. Thanks to the light upper, I rise as gravity falls. Thanks to the flexible midsole, I gather velocity till I spin like a record. And somewhere along the way, I dance into my own superhero.

When I train in my Sister Ones+, I tap into a secret source of power. Inspired by natural motion studies, they support how I am meant to move. Light and strong, they let me hit it harder, push it further. Flexible and buoyant, they let me go in any direction, so I can become anything. And in this moment, I become invincible.

Nikewomen – Love Starts Here

Concept & Copy

Since most girls in Asia viewed sport as something solely reserved for boys, Nike’s eternal quest to bring out everyone’s inner-athlete has been met with much silence there. So we decided to speak to the girls, in their terms, about the softer side of sport. By giving them the lowdown on the fun side of fitness, we enabled them to start a relationship with sport, so they could discover the joy and thrill that comes with it.

The Editor’s Note – Every season I’d write a message to our girls to give them a preview of the site.

Nikewomen – Colors

Concept, Copy & Treatments

In tribute to the upcoming Olympics, Nikewomen created a line of ‘her favorites’ that sported the Olympic ring colors. And when Nike asked us to connect this line with the emotional construct of ‘releasing her inner athlete’ we analyzed the relationship between color, mood and fitness. Knowing that different colors effect your mood and different moods effect your workouts, we created a visually visceral experience that gaged her mood and placed her on a color path containing the activities, the athletes and the gear which teased out her inner athlete of the moment.

Nikewomen – Vintage Running

Vintage Running – Concept & Copy

It’s easy to see why Nike recreated their newest line from their oldest footwear - it’s got that ethereal quality that makes you appear as though you’re accidentally cool. Showing off that renegade spirit, we created a time warp that beamed our girls back to when Nike was, the one and only, rebellious champion of the athlete.

Banana Republic – City Stories

Concept, Copy & Editing
The city is a place to inspire and be inspired. This is what the soul of the Banana brand is about, so we decided to bring this cycle of inspiration to life in digital form. Enter the City Story campaign, where BR interviewed 9 different musicians with one thing in common, their love for the city. Each interview reveals how the city inspires their work and personal style.

The results were tremendous, with each person spending an average of eight minutes on the site. A colossal amount of time in today’s world of constant distraction. Another way to look at it, imagine the average person volunteering to watch eight minutes of commercials on television.

Pampers – Fresh Wipes - Bathlike Clean

Pampers knew two things when it came to their fresh wipes - parents are always on the go with their babies & they want to keep their babies looking & feeling like they just got out of the bath as they go about their business. We took that information and created an online and mobile experience that visually and emotionally conveys the benefits of having a bath-like clean as close as your diaper bag.

This mobile app lets baby play with bath toys as mommy changes them - so they can enjoy bath time fun - as they get their bath-like clean. This fun game let’s parents know that Pampers Wipes gives their baby a bath-like clean in a friendlier way than an ad would.
