Nike: What Type of Runner Are You?

For the release of the new Pegasus trainer, Nike created a personality filter where TikTokers can find out what type of runner they are. Nike released a fun and engaging TikTok ad, showing mascots of the different personality types, and sponsored influencers across Europe to take the filter quiz and encourage their audiences to do the same. The supporting hashtag #NikePegasus has over 124.8M views to date.

Speedo: Bikini Breakdowns

Speedo worked with influencers to promote its new summer FLU3NTE collection. Influencers created try-on videos, showing the new swimsuits on, discussing new elements and features, and why they were perfect for the summer. Influencers were allowed to create videos in their own style, adding authenticity to the content produced. Content was posted to the influencers’ own channels, and to Speedo’s, and boosted from the brand channel.
