adidas x Rebel Partner Marketing

A joint marketing platform turning a major retail partnership into a consistent, audience-led campaign rhythm.

Context

A national retail partnership carries brand, category and commercial expectations at the same time. The opportunity was to move from campaign-by-campaign activity to a shared marketing rhythm that both businesses could plan against.

The Idea

Treat the partnership as a single audience journey rather than two marketing calendars. One story, expressed with the right emphasis for the brand audience, the retail shopper and the category moment.

My Role

  • Led the joint marketing approach across brand and retail teams
  • Set the campaign framework, calendar logic and channel roles
  • Aligned creative, media and in-store execution standards
  • Chaired working rhythm between brand, buying and retail marketing

Execution

  • Consistent campaign look and language across retail touchpoints
  • Category and franchise moments sequenced across the year
  • Retail media and social working to the same audience narrative
  • Clear in-store execution guidance for national rollout

Public-Safe Impact

  • A repeatable partner marketing model both teams could plan against
  • Consistent brand expression from campaign to shop floor
  • Faster turnaround on seasonal and moment-led activity

Selected commercial results available privately on request.
