adidas AG. Running Online Campaign

Mission

Online promotion to mobilize running fans of all levels: from hobby runners to professional marathon runners. Strengthen the brand image and increase the market share in the running segment.

Implementation

On adidas.com/com/running, users can create their own personal running routes and share them with other users, create a personal training plan and download interactive widget applications. The central campaign message is based on high-quality video content with testimonials which, on the one hand, present the brand, and on the other showcase the new collection. The distributed content is supported with the potential of viral marketing in Social Networks. Alongside classic forms of advertising such as print and retail advertising, a wide-reaching digital newsletter and banner campaign was implemented to increase coverage especially in the younger target groups.

Conclusion

The digital campaign was implemented with the newest technology (such as ActionScript 3). The campaign URL adidas.com/com/running was widely publicized and directs the user to high-quality brand content in the form of animated Flash films, interactive tools and detailed product presentations.
