Betrue

To lead the first Nike campaign acknowledging and celebrating the LGBTQ community

Brief

To strategize, conceptualize and put into a groundbreaking campaign celebrating the LGBTQ community, led by NYC.

Consumer Target

The NYC's LGBTQ community, in it's entire diversity.

Plan Concept

Instead of marketing "rainbow product" as every other brand has been doing, I positioned Nike as a platform for the community focusing on one of their main cultural expressions, Voguing, understanding it's global influence and impact.

Creative Tactics

Meaningful product: co-created customizing product with an artist from the community

Content: created an Ad Video featuring Leiomy Maldonado and her community

Hiring program: established a hiring pipeline for director and above roles focused on the LGBTQ community

Meaningful moment: Sponsored the Latex Ball, the most relevant ball for the Voguing community annually

Outcome

The Betrue campaign became recognized as the most important and groundbreaking campaign of a brand towards the LGBTQ community globally.
