Nike — Chomp Ollie Tour
Digitally following a pizza-eating skateboard tour
Challenge
For the 2013 launch of the Koston 2 shoe, Nike toured Europe in a pizza truck, challenging skaters to re-create Eric Koston’s famous ollie of a sofa while chomping on a slice of pizza.
We were tasked with making this experience digital — allowing fans to follow the tour and maximising the excitement around it.
Strategy
We stepped into our audience’s skate shoes and discovered a number of behaviours: they have serious FOMO, they use Instagram insatiably and they love sharing awesome videos.
Our approach was to provide a rich digital hub that took the tour to the fans, with reactive content allowing anyone to follow the story as 16 cities attempted to out-skill each other.
Creative
The experience centred on a digital destination that sucked in the hype surrounding the tour, along with reactive video content from each city, ensuring no-one missed a beat.
It was important that the fans felt involved in the tour even if they couldn’t physically make it to an event, so the space encouraged skaters to share their tour experiences — which were pulled into a visual wall of content.
An interactive map with event details was also created to make sure that the fans who lived en-route could pop along, have a go themselves and share their sweet successes and epic fails with the skater community.
Finally, to fuel conversation around the campaign hashtag ‘#thelegendgrows’, we provided guidelines to those on the ground who were manning the tour’s social channels — helping them keep the campaign momentum building.
