A new category message and visual system grounded in honest insights that celebrates individuality, inclusion and limitless potential, on and off the court. This new positioning was solidified through a phased digital and broadcast campaign launch, with athlete insight driven storytelling and visuals that get on a face-to-face level with the consumer.

FREE TO CREATE is a mindstate that shapes your world on and off the court. The moment when your  individual creativity allows you to perform on instinct.

Through a rollout of stills, video and comms strategy we worked to represent adidas Basketball’s perspective on the game and the culture. The sport isn’t just played in the biggest arenas, or by the top athletes - it’s played by anyone with a ball and a hoop. 

With that said, what does free to create look like? It’s the family in Nebraska playing on the side of their barn, kids in China playing via a FPV drone, a father teaching his daughter in Oakland, all demonstrating what “Free to Create” looks like in our world today. 

James Harden’s Free to Create brand film highlights his journey of self-discovery and limitless potential while inspiring our limitless creators to search for their own creative freedom.

FREE TO CREATE: THE ADIDAS BASKETBALL FAMILY

The Free to Create mantra was further contextualized by the adidas Basketball roster, with each film further exploring the psyche of the limitless creator.

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.
