Nike: My Time Is Now
There is a new breed of football player emerging. Younger, smarter, and scared of no-one. Driven by the hunger to succeed. Armed with new tools and product innovation. Ready to step out of the shadows if given the opportunity.
The new Nike 'My Time Is Now' campaign celebrates this next wave of footballers, whether it's the participants in The Chance, Nike's worldwide hunt for football talent, or elite athletes looking to make an impact on the world stage.
This global campaign provokes and rewards these behaviours in the participating audience too. To achieve this, the campaign flips the traditional AV model: rather than creating a film for TV and running a version of it online, it features a film created for the internet, a version of which will run on TV. The film is driven by a variety of different types of content, interactions and experiences, as well as seamless extensions to the overall narrative flow of the campaign.
My role
At Wieden + Kennedy, I worked with the creative teams to review concepts, shortlist production companies, review their proposals and budgets, manage the UX phase and entire production process with Stink Studios and others.
This project combined large volumes of video content, interactive content, illustration, gamification and social elements. On this job I worked with a TV producer and a content producer.
