“We Run Mexico” was a campaign and activation to get Mexico to move. But how do you cut through the noise in a city with over 24M people and few opportunities to exercise? We issued a challenge to the barrios of Mexico City to see which barrio would show their pride by logging KMs through Nike+. During the three month campaign runners logged 238,000km and grew our fans from 300K to 1.9M, making Nike Running Mexico the world’s largest and most engaged Nike running community in the world. The campaign was wrapped up with 30,000 runners competing in 10K’s in Monterey, Guadalajara and Mexico City.
The Mexico National team was on the bubble trying to qualify for the World Cup. We wanted to highlight a key match that would determine their fate, but the national team was sponsored by Adidas. That meant we couldn’t come within 5000 feet of the stadium. So we launched a digital and street guerilla campaign with a single word, “Partetela.” One word that summed up the moment encouraging the team to “Give it your all.” The campaign caught fire on the streets of Mexico City and digitally with over 115K likes in the first 24 hours of posting.
Nike SB was looking for a way to connect all of the America’s so we used the Pan-American Highway for a skate tour featuring SB’s best skaters. Paul Rodriguez, Luan Oliveira, Ishod Wair, Shane O’Neill, Youness Amrani, Theotis Beasley, Karsten Kleppan and Eric Koston skated for fans in San Paolo, Buenos Aires, Lima, Mexico City and LA. But how do you visually connect such different countries? We used money as the design inspiration for the Ruta Panamericana Tour.

Nike 124 was a brand space located in the coolest neighborhood in Mexico City where all Nike product launches and activations were hosted.

Not only was 124 the house number of the space, it quickly communicated that at Nike we don’t just go in order, we skip 3 and go straight to 4.
When I was asked to concept the brand positioning and content strategy for the launch of Hollisterco.com I thought about all of the kids in “fly over states” who wouldn’t believe the lifestyle kids in Southern California got to live. So I wanted to make Hollister inclusive instead of feeling exclusive like the surf and skate industries felt. So we made Hollister “a Southern California party everyone was invited to.” On this project we created a short film showcasing the PERFECT DAY from sunrise to sunset.
