Work with multiple client partners to launch adidas Pride 2021 as an integrated brand campaign, dedicated to sharing adidas' platform to highlight and celebrate the diverse identities, voices and stories of Pride across the LGBTQ+ community.
With the 2021 Pride Pack, adidas wants to continue exploring the themes of visibility, voice, education and activation, and uncover the raw emotions behind the ways people tell their stories. This will be done through DIY techniques which not only have played an important role in the LGBTQ+ community, but also offer intimate and authentic self-expression.
To reflect the brand's long-standing support of the LGBTQ+ movement, develop creative work that is primarily focused on telling the brand and partner stories through the voices of the LGBTQ+ community.
What began as work on the retail toolkit evolved as we took on additional campaign elements and extended the DIY look and feel of the creative through the entire Pride 2021 experience. From working in a real-time partnership with Cartwright through the brand work and the retail, to developing extra props for the launch zones, to working on gifts with purchase and activations, to creating seeding kits, our knowledge of the campaign and retail helped us find efficiencies of scale and equipped us to present creative-yet-realistic solutions on a compressed timeline.
