We're not gonna tell New Yorkers how to hustle. The 5 influencers are briefed on the mission and they're free to move the product their way. For every sale, they get a cut.
Some went door-to-door, some made thumb-stopping visuals, some collaborated with Knicks fans and their local deli — no rules. Anything goes. |
|
RESULT
The sneaker sold out. That was just the opening scene. What really happened was a shift—pure hustle, a never-seen-before drop, headlines on Highsnobiety and Hypebeast. Overnight, NY sneakerheads started seeing adidas differently. Not as a brand chasing culture, but one that understands it. One that’s willing to break the rules and change the game. |

CHALLENGE
Philips hue lights don’t just illuminate rooms—they change how people feel. They boost mood. Improve sleep. Transform spaces. How do we make the value of adjustable lighting impossible to ignore? IDEA
A takeover of Amsterdam’s Red Light District. Philips hue turns the windows of the famous street into a visually stunning, immersive light experience that highlights the impact of hues on moods in real time. |
|
THEMES
Each window becomes a different world. Every room is built to represent a single hue, designed to visually express the benefit each colour delivers—calm, focus, energy, intimacy, rest. ROLL-OUT
When doors open, visitors are invited inside to experience the rooms, capture the moment, and share it as Instagram or TikTok carousels using #HueLightsDistrict. |
|
Each day, the most stunning carousel wins a lifetime supply of Philips hue bulbs—which, fittingly, won’t need replacing anytime soon. We use AI-driven facial emotion analysis and show each visitor in real time how the environment is affecting their mood.

CHALLENGE
If you’re queer or trans and seeking asylum in the Netherlands, you’re expected to perform your identity. Say the right things. Match a checklist built on stereotypes. A checklist written by people who don’t know what queerness looks like in countries where survival means silence. When asylum is denied, lives are frozen in years of appeals. Trauma compounds. The one organisation fighting back LGBT Asylum Support is essentially a one-person operation, underfunded and unheard for years. How do we get officials to listen? |
|
ROLL-OUT
Letters arrive at Immigration offices. They demand asylum be granted. They cite identity assessments. They conclude: We find these individuals queer and trans enough. |
We launch a website and social channels with an unmistakably official look. A logo that feels real. Content is already waiting: Stories. Faces. Names. Posters and stickers appear across the country overnight. Celebrities, journalists, and allies amplify the message nationwide.

BACKGROUND
Futuristic shoe with a 3D-printed sole. Why 4D? The human dimension. Over a decade of athlete data shaped the design. Every foot landing and every lift analysed over 17 years told us where to cushion more vs where to give more flexibility. 3D printing + 1D for human data = ADIDAS 4D. How do we tell this story in a campaign? |
|
CONCEPT
Feel The Future. A super high-tech, almost sci-fi looking campaign that takes the audience behind the scenes. Honouring the widely-respected storytelling principle "Show, don't tell" we create a mix of static and moving visuals showing the creation process of ADIDAS 4D. Lab environment. Professional runners. Performance data informing shoe design. |

RESULT
Hype served and mission accomplished. Engagement exceeded all goals. Hypebeast and Highsnobiety wrote countless articles about the tech. Every collection sold out within weeks. Collabs were popping left, right, and centre. It became one of the most successful franchises at adidas. Being in the lead, overseeing everything 4D was an absolute high for me - every minute and every campaign. |
|
BRIEF
Create a campaign to promote hotel packages for Qatar National Sports Day while showcasing the destination's main attractions. |
INSIGHT
Tourists come to Qatar for the same reasons they go anywhere else. Iconic buildings. Perfect views. Photos that prove: I was here. What would your holiday photos look like if you're working out? |
|
IDEA
A destination seen through the lens of a tourist who’s working out. Running past the Museum of Islamic Art. Stretching with the skyline behind them. |
|
The photos are accidental. Unfiltered. Sometimes upside down. They prove: You didn’t just visit Qatar. You lived it. In a world of flawless travel content, nothing grabs attention like a mistake.
|
|
CHALLENGE
Every place has a story. Qatar’s story had been written for it. A reputation that didn’t match Eid's holiday spirit. How can we create a festive campaign that draws tourists to Qatar during the Eid holidays? |
|
IDEA
In a cinematic short film, we follow a young boy as he moves through Eid in Qatar. Every joyful moment—a smile, a celebration, a fleeting second of wonder--he captures and slips into his pocket. Saved for later. A soft, slightly quirky way of showing the soul of Qatar in a TVC dubbed as "Eid’s answer to the Christmas advert". |
|
The feeling spills beyond the screen. Across Digital. Outdoor. Social. Every touchpoint carries the same idea: Qatar is a place where you dream big, and stop to appreciate the small.
|
|
RESULT
Qatar reclaims its place as a family destination—where Eid is celebrated with warmth, wonder, and togetherness. Social conversations linking Qatar and Eid rise by 16%. Holiday visits increase by 21%. |
