In China, a woman’s rise to stardom is often credited to her looks, her connections, or just pure luck. Fueled by social media, girls in China tend to blindly chase the allure of celebrity and success. What if Nike could redefine what success could mean? What if success was actually born from failure? This was Nike’s opportunity to tell a different story of female success and identity, through Zhou Dongyu, a failed athlete turned celebrated actress.
In July 2017, Nike Women: Believe In More launched as a 360° mobile film on Wechat, China’s biggest social network. Our target audience were millennial Chinese women, and our non-traditional format of interactive 360° mobile video reached them where they shared, talked, and spent the most time. Believe In More debuted on UMAX screens in major cities, leading to the full mobile film, as well as social conversation on Weibo (China’s Twitter) about female success and identity under the hashtag #BelieveInMore. The experience culminated in a 360° shoppable lookbook featuring all the styles in the film.
