The launch of the PS5 wasn’t just another consumer event, it was a cultural moment made for delivery. Those who could cop a console were grinding the new games non stop and everyone else was tuning in to watch streamers flex the PS5. Either way, no one was going AFK to make food. Kamp used this insight to dominate the gaming space with Never Stop Gaming – five days of streaming fueled by Wendy’s.


The Never Stop Gaming campaign recruited pro streamers Tfue, Myth, Flight23White, itshafu, and Xchocobars for a national limited-time Wendy’s menu. Every day for five days one of the high profile gamers went live on Twitch to promote their meal, give away gaming gear, and Wendy’s in the chat dropping meal discounts. The disruptive content unleashed fandom, drove culture, and created brand advocates.

To promote the limited-time Wendy's meals we brought on character designer Jordan "Doodle" Best to re-imagine the pro streamer cast and Wendy in his iconic illustration style.

Every order from the Wendy’s Never Stop Gaming menu came with a scratch-off giving consumers a chance to win thousand of prizes. The activation delivered consumers with over 6000 product giveaways with grand prizes including PS5 consoles, Herman Miller x Logitech chairs, premium gaming headsets and Uber Eats gift cards. The Never Stop Gaming campaign was a first-of-its-kind experience authentic to the world of gaming, helping prove that what makes Uber Eats great isn’t the delivery of food; it’s how food can deliver an unmissable experience.

Yeezy x Adidas took over Chicago during NBA All-Star Weekend to create an unforgettable social / PR moment for Yeezy’s new basketball footwear release.


We brought a fleet of the iconic Sherp vehicles to the streets of Chicago to hand deliver Kanye’s latest YEEZY basketball silhouette, the QTNM. Hitting three highly trafficked zones, and Kanye's old southside neighborhood, the stunt gained local and national media attention, even Quavo showed up.

MAKING A STATEMENT ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO

To launch the IVY HEART collection, we immersed audiences in the campaign storytelling of good fortune, joy, and love of every kind with unforgettable moments in New York City and Los Angeles.


Leading up to New York Fashion Week, we transformed the iconic lobby of the Brooklyn Museum into an exhibition-style showroom. Statuesque mannequins were styled throughout to highlight the mix/match versatility of the collection - across gender, personal style, function, and form, alongside shoppable product displays, a 30-foot film wall, and countless photographable moments. 

The first half of the event gave NYC-based adidas Creators Club members the first opportunity to shop the collection ahead of the official drop. While the evening’s Friends and Family launch party brought influencers, press, stylists, and friends of Ivy Park together for an evening of fashion and inclusive love. DJ Mez Monty played a live set as guests toured the showroom, selected gifts from the collection, and captured content in their looks. The event culminated with a performance by Violet Chachki featuring customized IVY HEART pieces.

Our mobile unit street team showed up at 7 locations across Santa Monica, Hollywood, and DTLA projecting IVY HEART campaign content at takeover scale on landmark building facades.

Netflix’s “The Harder the Fall” is a Black American Western whose characters are loosely based on real stories of cowboys, lawmen and outlaws of the 19th-century American West. To create excitement for this new title we built an immersive living version of the film’s fictional town of Redwood City, in the heart of NYC’s Meatpacking District. We partnered with real Black cowboys and Black-owned businesses to authenticate the experience, providing moments of education and stoppable era-inspired products in celebration of the Black American West.

A curation of NYC creators extended the show’s narrative with special moments throughout our Redwood City build. Key Moments: Two pop-up marketplace tents with products from Sincerely Tommy and The Brooklyn Circus, C.A. Boseman Train Car Museum with Tintype photobooth, chain stitching customization by We Tight Knit, Cowboy Camp hosted by cowboys PURA and roper Wefts Tyrus, a performance area with stories by Trae Venerable, and on-site beverages by Brooklyn Tea served out of Stagecoach Mary’s Saloon.

Presented with the opportunity to launch Oakley's next major innovation in eyewear, we dug into the Oakley archives to uncover what makes the Kato best in class. Inspired by the unique product narrative, we developed an athlete seeding strategy that delivered on the Kato performance benefits while telling the story behind the design.


To build hype and anticipation, we developed a shared moment that built on the mystery, intrigue and excitement around Kato. The shareable Augmented Reality experience allowed members of Team Oakley to unlock a piece of history and share the content with their fans and followers on Instagram. Our targeted seeding strategy resulted in a social campaign celebrating Oakley’s history of innovation and disruptive design.

Online retailer Zappos drops an exclusive Crocs capsule collection inspired by the spirit of the 90s cult film Clueless. To promote this iconic collab, we created a new-age homage modeled and acted by a new cast of our favorite contemporaries. 


We introduced the squad through a series of teaser videos mixing Hi8 footage with self-recorded iPhone capture. Cher’s house, an LA mansion propped with a mix of vintage and on-trend furnishings became the backdrop for our storytelling as the Croc's product played the starring role in this Clueless remake.

Kamp worked collaboratively with underground club culture platform, Boiler Room, on a virtual Legendary experience. The DJs, dancers and MC’s of the Ballroom scene were brought together for a one-night-only live stream event to celebrate the finale of Legendary’s second season.


Four sets by Ballroom’s most revered DJs: Mike Q, Leonce, Uniiqu3, Kaos and Sky Labeija produced a one-of-a-kind sonic experience, with pinnacle performances by world class voguers from the Legendary competition series. Promotion for the event employed a captivating graphic language that was spread across the digital space with custom units built for HBO’s @HumanbyOrientation, @LegendaryMAX, @BoilerRoomTV and the entire DJ roster.

In 2019, we worked in collaboration with Beyonce’s Parkwood team to create a disruptive end-to-end campaign & digital strategy to shoot and launch the inaugural collection from adidas x Ivy Park. Our strategy revolutionized the way adidas approaches digital launches and resulted in a 48hr sellout.


For the launch, we placed our campaign at the front and center of each entry point of adidas.com-Homepage.

During the waiting room experience, we teased the entire collection with a video lookbook showcasing all of the products modeled by Beyoncé.


To showcase all of the captured content, we created a larger than life premium bound zine that would later become one of the most coveted pieces of each drop.


To tease the collection, we created a disruptive and highly anticipated Seeding moment using custom rolling racks filled with apparel and footwear, all of which were hand delivered to the doorsteps of Brand fans and supporters.

REVOLUTIONIZING DIGITAL LAUNCHES WITH THE BIGGEST PARTNERSHIP IN CULTURE

747_upres_hero.jpg


In February of 2018, 18,000 attendees gathered for a moment in adidas history: 747 Warehouse St., a 2-day sport and culture festival for All-Star Weekend.

Historically, All-Star Weekend has catered to industry insiders, keeping out the people who genuinely love the game and the culture with high ticket prices and VIP guest lists. 747 Warehouse St. sought to democratize All-Star Weekend, creating a first-of-its-kind brand experience that embraced the community and provided multiple touchpoints to create alongside the brand. 

We lead the charge in crafting this moment, bringing together the best of basketball, music, and sneaker culture.

An interconnected series of immersive brand experiences provided an exclusive look behind the scenes of adidas innovation. Guests made appointments for a guided warehouse tour of adidas’ most innovative product and rich brand history, a work in progress fostering a two-way conversation between adidas and creators.

An innovative RFID commerce system was employed to allow guests to enter shoe raffles without interrupting various experiences. With over 94,000 raffle entry scans and close to $1M in sales, the custom 747 Warehouse St RFID raffle-to-purchase program made for a seamless commerce experience for guests to access the 14 exclusive drops throughout the event. Guests scanned their event wristbands at beacons placed throughout brand installations for the chance to purchase rare 747 products. SMS notifications were then sent out to raffle winners and directed to cash out at designated kiosks. Love the shoe, swipe the beacon, win the raffle, purchase the product.


360 Programming allowed attendees to interact with the culture’s most influential artists and musicians.

Luca Guadagnino’s WE ARE WHO WE ARE is a celebration of self. Through a series of digital activations and social media touchpoints we worked to connect our audience through the ethos and discovery of contemporary youth culture.

HBO_WAWA_Combined.jpg

Ahead of the premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s WE ARE WHO WE ARE we distributed kits to an extensive list of icons and personalities who have contributed to youth culture through their work and online presence. Inside the kit were two products that invited the recipient to internalize the themes within the series; a limited edition Eckhaus Latta tee and BIG DATA (TM) USB drive.

Working with designer and iconoclast, Caleb Flowers, we adapted his BIGDATA(TM) download concept into a physical USB. A zine-like curation filled with gigabytes of original imagery, video, music and other digital ephemera from the series’ talent and a selection of contemporary creators all responding to the questions ‘Who Are You?’ The USB was sent out in seeding  and given away to the public for free through a microsite.

The shirt was intended as a canvas for artists to create representations of who they are. We then asked five artist to rework the shirt: Jan Gatewood, Nathalie Nguyen, Left Hand LA, Rian Phin, and Nicole McLaughlin.

In partnership with cult mainstay, NTS Radio, we programmed a five episode coming-of-age radio series. Each episode features a member of the show’s cast or crew, taking a deep dive into the themes of the show and parallels between their characters and their real life experiences. Episodes ranged from an interview with the music supervisor Robin Urdang, to Chloë Sevigny reading fan-submitted love stories.

ENCAPSULATING CONTEMPORARY YOUTH CULTURE FOR LUCA GUADAGNINO'S HBO SERIES

UExChipotle_CuffingSeasonMenu_RW_16.jpg


To kick off the chilly months known as Cuffing Season, we brought together Chipotle, Hinge, Uber Eats and rom-com love guru, Rebel Wilson to spice things up.

With the insight that Chipotle is one of America’s favorite date spots, the Uber Eats exclusive Cuffing Season Menu offered three tasty ways to get the vibe right for any dating occasion, and included an opportunity to win one-on-one dating advice with Rebel herself.

Our love guru Rebel Wilson fronted the campaign, attracting audiences with her deadpan one-liners while a suite of assets swept in-app billboards, social, emails and push notifications.

We furthered our reach by partnering with the dating app Hinge, offering an in-app burrito prompt, an email blast and a series of social videos featuring Rebel completing her Hinge profile.

UE_CS_Collage.jpg

We created 3 custom meal combos — a first for Chipotle — that were exclusive to the Uber Eats app, each with their own storytelling about the date they represent. The menu was a success, driving a 5% increase in total order value on Chipotle Uber Eats orders, and a 25% incremental increase of new Eaters to Uber Eats.

Additional motivation to order off the menu was generated with the opportunity to win individual dating advice with the hilarious Rebel Wilson and dating guru Matthew Hussey. Consultations with the winners were conducted remotely and broadcast via IG live, with highlight reels hitting the social channels the next day.

REBEL WILSON ENSURES WE HAVE SOMETHING TO KEEP US WARM THIS WINTER... OR SOMEONE?

700_V2_MAUVE_BABACKGROUND.jpg

On Friday, March 22nd, adidas partnered with families across America to create homemade pop-up “Yeezy Stands.” Each stand was stocked with limited pairs of the unreleased Yeezy Boost 700 V2.

All proceeds from sales were donated directly to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI),the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

The Yeezy Stand campaign was rooted in family, community and love. Tapping families across the Midwest to build, promote and celebrate their handmade Yeezy Stands, and the internet couldn’t get enough of it.

Showing The Howard family in South Dakota doing the same activity as The West family in Calabasas felt fresh, fun and humanizing. Our partnership with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) allowed all proceeds from Lemonade Stands to donate to a cause that was close to Ye.

In 2016, we partnered with adidas to introduce AlphaBOUNCE to the market as the first adidas running shoe to exist at the intersection of sport and culture.

Through a series of dynamic campaigns, we collaboratively expanded the consumer’s interest in running past its traditional demographic. Our team established the AlphaBOUNCE as a shoe not just for runners, but for athletes who need to run to train, employing a more training-lifestyle-driven approach to its imaging, strategy, and promotion.


American Football wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins fronted the inaugural AlphaBOUNCE campaign introducing this new member to the adidas Running family. Communication touchpoints attracted consumers with the concept of “flow state”, positioning AlphaBOUNCE as the footwear that enables the athlete to reach a zone where confidence, determination and clarity flow as one — creating a sense of limitless performance.

With the opportunity to work directly with adidas’ product design team to create the identity for a brand-new shoe franchise we jumped at the opportunity to develop the sharpest product positioning for a shoe franchise that adidas Running had ever seen.

Gil Scott Heron's legendary track “Running" became the anthem for AlphaBOUNCE’s second act, bringing the story of limitless performance to a wider reach of athletes who run to dominate their sport. This curation of cross-category adidas athletes included: Carlos Correa, Justise Winslow, Moriah Jefferson, and Marcus Peters.

The mantra “Don’t Call Me a Runner” lead us into the world of imagining athletes running in and around their zones of sport, where lines of sport provided a graphic thread throughout our films and corresponding photography.

Group 294.png

Group 295.png

Group 296.png

Run the Game reinforced AlphaBOUNCE as the game-changing running shoe designed to give athletes the edge they need to control their field of play. This expansive globetrotting effort captured adidas athletes on their respective fields of play across the globe.

Athletes included Gareth Bale (Madrid, Spain), Damian Lillard (Portland, OR), Caroline Wozniacki (New Orleans, LA), Beauden Barrett (London, UK), Florencia Galarza (Portland, OR), James Harden (Houston, TX), Landon Collins (New York, NY), Ning Zetao (Bejing, China).

Instinct brought the rapidly growing franchise into the future to tell a dynamic story. The campaign highlights AlphaBOUNCE’s latest torsion tech system’s many benefits in reaching “flow” state; a realm of determination an athlete channels in moments of seemingly effortless domination.

LAUNCHING A NEW WAVE OF SPORT PERFORMANCE

LaurenWasser_-12.jpg

SOT_Lockup.png


A run club coach became a father figure to prisoners.  An LA model lost both legs but found a new way to live.  A soccer player turned a stereotype into unstoppable ambition. Three short films highlighted that running is not just for elite athletes but can be a tool to help people overcome personal and perceived challenges in life.

Lauren Wasser nearly died from TSS and through it found a new way to live. The short film shows how running has helped this model, activist, and athlete through monumental physical, mental, and emotional transformation. Seven years on, she’s gone from self-confessed “it girl” to a woman redefining beauty, speaking out about TSS, and training to run the NYC Marathon. This was Lauren Wasser’s induction into the adidas brand as an official ambassador for adidas running. 

This film tells the story of Frank Ruona who has been coaching inmates to run marathons for over 14 years. Frank is a seasoned marathon runner and run club coach that has discovered his efforts with coaching inmates has had the power to transform the lives of those prisoners even from behind bars.

Professional soccer player Lindsey Horan shares her transformative story of perseverance. Overcoming stereotypes, naysayers and negativity with determination and hard work.

THREE ACCOUNTS OF RUNNING'S TRANSFORMATIVE POWER

FB_COD_LEE_04.jpg

A celebration of Coming Out Day, October 11th 2020, through meaningful storytelling that creates connectivity and generates conversation.

1_dropshadow.png

2_dropshadow.png

3_dropshadow.png

4_dropshadow.png

We sought out four individuals from different walks in their LGBTQIA+ journey to speak to us about coming out and how it is not just about one day or moment, it is an ongoing story. Through mixed media Instagram carousels and stories we are introduced to D’Santi, Lee, Chad and Kite and their stories of coming out.

FB_COD_CHAD_13.jpg

For Chad, coming out is a story of becoming more authentic to himself, becoming who he is, inside and out, and being more open.

“I had a hard time coming out to the snowboarding community… I didn’t know where I would fit in.”

“I didn’t know if the timing was right, I didn’t know when and how I should do it… and I realized there is no best time. There is no better time than now. I realized it’s a journey for everybody, and it just takes time.”

FB_COD_DSANTI_18.jpg

For D’Santi, born and raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico, coming out has been a journey full of music, heritage, identity, and love. 

“Coming out to me is  saying, I am D’Santi. I am here. I walk this earth like anybody else. And I want the same things.

I was 48 years old when the decision was made to transition. To look at old pictures it seems like a whole lifetime ago. Sometimes I don’t recognize myself and sometimes I’m OK with that, you know?” 

As a Two-Spirit, I carry both male and female energy. I’ve been walking that path for 8 years now, and it saved my life.” 

FB_COD_LEE_16.jpg

For Lee, coming out means defining the person they always wanted to be, and showing up as their authentic self no matter what environment they’re in.

“I am very proud to be trans. To be non-binary. Because I think people think we only exist in these particular spaces and that is not the case. 

I am a musician. I am a bull rider. I am a technologist. I’m engaged. I’m a stepparent. I’m your neighbor. And there are many other people like me.” 

FB_COD_CHAD_14.jpg

For Kite, coming out is a story of letting go of everything that was holding them back. Instead of being scared of the future, they learned to embrace the present with support from their family and online community. 

“I think for me, coming out is letting it all go. Whether it’s a small thing, like changing your pronouns on Facebook, or letting people know you’re dating someone of the same gender, it’s the little everyday things.”

“The reality is that you come out all the time. You come out daily.”
