Project description

Bringing athletes closer to their dreams has always been Nike's mission. And while we’ve seen those dreams play out on the biggest stages—Madison Square Garden, Old Trafford, Centre Court—it’s easy to forget where each of those dreams started: the floor.

Nike Retail has long blurred the lines between community, consumer, and culture. Associates who are committed to getting you the right gear, the right fit, the right style—to remind you that you’re ready for the next level. But over time, that sense of shared ambition was overshadowed. A culture of self-employment and individual hustle began to challenge how we define teamwork and fulfillment.

Nike came to us with a challenge that went much deeper than hiring, but rather, reigniting belief. In a world where more people are looking for purpose in their work, the solution wasn't more hype. It was heart. A shift away from hustle culture and back toward meaning, fulfillment, and pride.

From a hero film to personal employee testimonials, in-store takeovers, and a global out-of-home activation across five win-now markets, the work challenges any notion that Nike Retail is just clocking in and clocking out. It’s about being a big part of something even bigger.

The face of this campaign was a cast of real Nike Retail employees. Not models. Not actors. People who already live the values we were spotlighting. They chose Nike before Nike chose them. And in the campaign, you’ll find them being their authentic selves: singing, dancing, goofing off, and showing up for one another.

Nike has been telling the world to “Just do it” for decades. With this campaign, we explored a deeper layer: what is “it”?

For the next generation entering the workforce, the answer lands simply.

It’s all you. Always has been.

Because what makes you—makes us Nike.
