IT TAKES ALL OF US

It takes all of us working together, side-by-side, to create a better future for the game and for the country. To kick off the 2020 season, we launched a message of unity and hope inspired by LaDanian Tomlinson's iconic HOF speech.

NFL 2020 THE ROAD TO KICKOFF

Director: Paul Mitchell at Elastic Music: Alicia Keys GCD Partner: Zach Hilder AD: Nate Ripp

From the start of the 2020 season and beyond, our rally cry line was integrated throughout the NFL and league initiatives. All team endzones feature stencils with "It Takes All of Us" and "End Racism" painted on. Players now wear it as a decal on the back of their helmets along with other messages of racial justice or the names of victims of police brutality and systemic racism.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR - NIKE CHINA

Shanghai is one of the fastest moving, most prosperous cities in the world. Being an athlete here means pushing yourself even harder, which is a tall order.

So right before the 2017 Shanghai Marathon, we challenged athletes throughout the city to try and live up to its speed – and be “SHANGHAI FAST.”

The Shanghai Fast Campaign launched with a city-wide takeover of traditional and non-traditional OOH - a print series shot by Pari Dukovic, challenging athletes to live up to the speed of the city, and speed-activated neon light messaging, turning Shanghai's Century Park into the fastest training ground in the world.

JORDAN BRAND - RE2PECT

In 2014, we celebrated Derek Jeter's 20 year career in a big way. By giving everyone - even his arch rivals, a password to join the party. One unifying, made-up, funny, six-letter (and one-number) Twitter-able word: RE2PECT.

We showed RE2PECT by tipping our caps.

We showed RE2PECT on 34th St.

We showed RE2PECT with a couple of painted murals around the city.

And during Derek's very last game at Yankee Stadium, his little nephew showed RE2PECT.

Even a few fanatics showed some RE2PECT... on their skin.

EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR - VANS

Black Rainbows are the marks skateboards leave on walls after a wallride. To see the marks as rainbows is to see through the eyes of a skateboarder, where everyday objects are seen in a new light, for a new purpose.

To kick off a year celebrating the Vans Era, the first shoe for skateboarding designed by skateboarders we wanted to remind people that skateboarders see the world differently. And if it wasn't for one group of skateboarders in particular (Venice's Z-boys), modern skateboarding would be very different. And we wouldn't have the Vans Era.

This event integrated with Vans retail stores around the Los Angeles to drive back to the central activation which took place in Venice, the birthplace of modern skateboarding and home to Tony Alva, designer of the Era. The immersive experience included a reproduction of a 1970s teenage surfer's bedroom, part of the infamous "dog bowl" -- a backyard pool nearby where Tony Alva executed the first air. Venice legends Suicidal Tendencies performed.

WE ERECTED A STATUE.

OF A SKATEBOARDER.

In honor of Geoff Rowley’s historical 50/50 Grind down the LA Convention center Hubba, Vans commemorated 20 years since the historical feat with a bronze statue, placing it amongst many other legends in American sports. We even commissioned the same sculptor, Omri Amrany who created many of the statues at Staples Center, including Michael Jordan’s statue in front of the United Center in Chicago.

Vanguards - Style, Creativity and Skateboarding Their Own Way

In our efforts to grow participation in skateboarding worldwide, we told a story around four female skateboarders and how the growing sport allows for creative self-expression and inclusivity. This film launched a season-long, integrated brand campaign with skate clinics that have introduced over 8,000 new people to skateboarding.

BRAND CAMPAIGN OOH DESIGN

Spirit of DIY Brand Film

Inspired by the “Do It Yourself” ethos of the Hardcore Punk movement in the late 1970s, there is a thriving global community of musicians, artists, and fans that champion the idea of carving out your own path and not waiting for permission. When the goal is unfiltered creative expression, there is no perfect approach. The only real response is taking matters into your own hands and creating what you want to see. Meet a few of the global faces who are using the spirit of DIY to make things happen in their worlds, and in the process are influencing broader culture as a whole.

FIRST EVER VAULT BY VANS STORE IN NYC

In March 2019, we opened the doors to our first Vault by Vans pop-up boutique retail space on the Lower East Side in New York City. First established in 2003, Vault by Vans represents the brand’s commitment to pinnacle product design, told through the lens of heritage, art, craftsmanship and street culture. As the most aspirational creative expression of Vans, the Vault by Vans category is the brand’s platform to create and execute rich, culturally-connected stories and activate Vans through its premium collaborators and exclusive partnerships.

SQUARESPACE TV - Dreaming With Jeff

In 2015 we made Jeff Bridges Sleeping Tapes, an album filled with relaxing sounds, stories and guided meditation to show how a Squarespace website can bring any idea, even the weird ones, to life in a beautiful way. What started out as a campaign with a TV spot to launch around the Super Bowl, turned out to be much more: an album that reached Billboard's New Age chart at #2 and charitable proceeds that helped feed 2.5 million hungry children.

The Cliff - :30 second teaser

Om - :30 second Super Bowl commercial

Both of these spots pointed to Jeff's project website where we sold limited edition vinyl records, cassette tapes and digital downloads of his Sleeping Tapes tracks.

JORDAN BRAND TV - BGCP3TVinHD

For decades the Lakers had “Showtime”. Now Blake Griffin and Chris Paul are LA’s new Showtime. So to launch their new shoes and their new season, we gave these two considerable talents a show called BGCP3TV in HD and ran the episodes on Adult Swim.

We welcomed in the hoards of new Clippers fans with The Bandwagon. We painted a station wagon red and stuffed it with an 8-piece band that drove all over LA playing the theme song to Sanford & Son.

The Bandwagon not only served as a transitional segment within the TV show, but as a physical extension used to continue the conversation on the streets and on social, well past the Adult Swim broadcast.

EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR - CHECKERBOARD DAY

On Nov 21st, 2019, the first Vans Checkerboard Day was launched as a global initiative to champion the power of creative expression around the world. I commissioned NYC-based agency, Grand Army to help develop an integrated suite of assets including this visual ID system, digital content and product kits for a highly successful launch.

Following a period of isolation, 2020’s Checkerboard Day focuses on the vital role creativity plays in helping individuals and communities address mental health and well-being.   This year, Vans will support 10 charities from around the world whose shared purpose is to use programs focused on creativity as resources for coping with the stressors that impact mental health and well-being, by donating a collective $1 million.
