Overview

Description

For the month leading up to the vote, Nike turned its iconic logo into a reminder to vote

and a symbol for equality.

Execution

From storefront signage to receipts and even custom Nike shoes, we turned every kind of Swoosh out in the world into a vote for marriage equality. We also sent specially designed apparel and footwear to Australia’s top athletes and created projections and print and outdoor posters to line the streets around major sporting events in Sydney and Melbourne.

Outcome

Nike’s giant gesture resonated with the Australian public, generating noise and reposts on social media and being seen in some of the country’s highest-traffic shopping areas. The logo was quickly adopted by the sporting community, including athletes like Moana Hope and Samantha Kerr. And maybe the best result of all? Australia voted “yes” to marriage equality.
