Built for the rhythm of the tournament
The campaign combined planned hero content with the flexibility to respond to the tournament in real time. Behind-the-scenes athlete moments, product Easter eggs, Fan Talks, debate formats, quizzes and reactive amplification kept Nike visible across the full competition rather than concentrating attention around one launch moment. Stories added an interactive layer, while Instagram posts and TikTok extended the campaign across complementary viewing behaviours.
