Nike - Speedy Capsule Social Production

the challenge.

To celebrate Atlanta’s newest cultural holiday, Nike needed to concept, capture, and deploy social-first content for 404 Day on an accelerated timeline.

The work had to feel distinctly Atlanta — not branded, not generic — and ship fast enough to stay culturally relevant across Nike retail and social channels.

There was no time for overproduction.

The content had to feel native, timely, and intentional.

my role.

I led the social strategy and on-the-ground production for Nike’s 404 Day moment.

I shaped the creative approach, built the crew, and directed capture to ensure the content reflected Atlanta culture authentically — prioritizing moments, details, and pacing that felt local rather than campaign-driven.

My role focused on speed without sacrificing cultural accuracy or creative quality.
