Facebook honours Nike Training Club Live

Two of Facebook’s creative leaders, Valentina Culatti and KJ Weir, have picked their top campaigns of 2018 – and have given special mention to our work for Nike on Instagram Live.

“Nike wanted to reach a younger audience not engaged with fitness,” said Culatti and Weir. “It chose Instagram to show that if you have time to scroll, tap or swipe, then you have time to work out. It was a brilliant insight expertly executed, with 30 days of live workouts on Instagram Live featuring Nike athletes in London, Paris, Berlin and New York. It was incredible.

“Story ads drove users to the channel, workouts were posted on Instagram Live at the same time every day, organic posts and polls connected the audience with the athletes between the workouts and the most popular workouts were repackaged and pushed to IGTV for the on-demand audience. It was like nothing we have ever seen on Instagram Live.”

Find love with Three this Valentine’s Day

As Valentine’s Day approaches, it’s time to think about the ones we love – our phones. They’ve been getting a hard time of late and we’re constantly being told that they’re bad for our relationships.

But Three believes that, all things considered, Phones Are Good. Remember what it was like trying to meet people before Tinder? Remember sitting at dinner with nothing to say to your other half? Remember booty calls before Uber?

This phase of Phones Are Good launched on Feb 11 during Valentine’s mobile primetime – the three day rush to arrange Tinder dates before the 14th – and is live  across social, digital, TV, cinema and OOH, including contextual messaging celebrating phones in cinemas, gyms and bathrooms (admit it, you scroll there too).
