Join Forces (use this one)

 the ask: The Air Force 1 turned 40 in 2022. This campaign was a celebration of its roots in street culture and the communities who’ve made it the bestselling sneaker of all time. We honored four dance crews from around the world with authentic ties to the AF1, as well as advertising the Join Forces Pack, a limited capsule of special-edition 40th anniversary AF1s.

my role: As one of two digital writers on the campaign, I took on all digital and social writing across the Nike ecosystem for two of the four featured communities - The Council of Los Angeles, CA, representing North America, and RIEHATATOKYO of Tokyo, Japan, representing Asia Pacific & Latin America (APLA). I also contributed words to the global side of the campaign on digital and social.
