Holiday is the biggest season for adidas, both in terms of sales and the brands' investment into creative. Our team was asked to execute a massive three-phase campaign that lasted from mid-October until New Year's. This span covers Black Friday and Cyber Monday, along with a rotation of various weekly promotions. Creating content for all of these moments efficiently required two very complex photoshoots. The first shoot utilized in-studio photography to capture both on and off-model product photography, while the second shoot was on-location. To further amplify our audience and add sport credibility, we partnered with a variety of athletes to appear in the campaigns including: Tegan McGrady (Portland Thorns FC), Morgan Weaver (Portland Thorns FC), Ally Love (Peloton instructor & CEO) and adidas Runners Jessie Zapo, Garret Gooch, Nora Hill, Alea James & Chloe Towns.
