When ethical footwear brand Veja made the move in athletic footwear in the fall of 2019 the main barrier they were set to face was proving that a shoe could be made from all sustainable materials and still hold up in quality for exercise. What better way than to have some brand ambassadors run a marathon in them. Built on this insight, I developed the Veja: “Run It Back” Marathon to promote the launch of their 100% recycled material running shoe, The Condor.
This launch event and its accompanying campaign use the tagline “Run without a footprint,” keeping both Veja’s sustainability mission and this new shoe-line’s capabilities as an exercise shoe at the top of mind.
