Nike Air Max Pulse
With the goal of revitalizing Air Max’s presence in youth culture, the Nike Air Max Pulse tapped into the very core of Air Max’s DNA—wild ingenuity, rebellious thinking and embracing the unknown. Then, my team and I amplified it using the underground sounds of the London music scene as inspiration, encouraging consumers to use the Nike Air Max Pulse as a way to express their loudest self and push past their limits.
As one of the writers, I worked closely with the rest of the narrative team to create the narrative strategy for the campaign. This included writing the messaging hierarchy and manifesto to set the tone. Using brand guidelines and a strategic approach, I wrote the digital executions, which included social, email, app threads and landing pages. This copy was also used for OOH placements across the globe, including stores and billboards. I also worked closely with designers to add storytelling elements to the hero AVs.
