campaign page example for d.o.n. issue #1
heading into his third year in the nba, the young phenom donovan mitchell got his own signature shoe by adidas. i created all copy for the four initial colorways, including concepting titles and intro copy for each shoe in the onsite item selector.

reactive homepage takeover example for adidas athlete milestone
on february 3 of 2019, a professional football team from the east coast beat a professional football team from the west coast in a very important professional football game. i can’t get any more specific, but adidas had an athlete on each team, so i wrote congratulatory head/subhead combos for each to take over the homepage masthead spot.

reactive social media and email example
i’m especially proud of this one. the basketball folks whipped up reactive messaging that amounted to: “congrats toronto!” i fully appreciated that they were working to capture the moment, but to me it fell short for a team/city that just won their first ever nba championship. i got approval to rewrite it and delivered this copy a few minutes before the deadline. i was really happy with the result.

category page example for hockey (click right for x3 carousel)
i created three archetypes to categorize six adidas athletes by style of play (two per), then developed copy for each archetype. i also wrote seo footer copy for product landing pages relating to each archetype, speaking to training and performance gear associated with the athletes.


seo footer copy

similar to the nhl hockey treatment, we did campaign landing page and product landing pages featuring each of the adidas baseball players. i concepted the terminology to classify each player by style and created seo footers for each player’s plp—like this one for carlos correa.

the black friday and cyber monday holiday campaign pages saw a 66% increase in traffic year-over-year, with no SEO footer copy in 2017 and my seo footer copy in place for the 2018 holiday season.

who knew there would be this much to say about men’s shoes 🤷🏼‍♂️

my “green shoes” seo footer copy helped propel adidas north america to victory in a friendly head-to-head competition with adidas europe. the category was arbitrary but the results were undeniable. both markets saw increases in traffic to these “green shoes” pages over other pages, and the copy i created for north america outperformed the copy created by the adidas global headquarters team in germany… just saying.
