Strategy:
Nike wanted to create a big statement on Women's International Day. In a country where the perception is that sports are more for men. We wanted to show that women are also athletes, but most of all make a statement by generating a direct activation with the participation of hundreds of women in Bogota to start a conversation about equality.
Execution:
During the month of March we handed out in live events and Nike stores a magnetic pony tail that served as an invitation and a call to action for women to mobilize on Women's International Day.To place the pony tail on sports signs in different major parks of Bogota to change them to female. Hundreds of signs were changed. The action grew through female celebrities, social and traditional media that pushed the conversation forward, getting the attention of the City Mayor's Office.

Campaign Description:
We wanted to remind people that women are also athletes, but most of all make a statement in a country where the perception is that sports are more for men. We saw an opportunity in the city's sports signs used in parks, where all figures shown are male. We came up with a direct marketing idea to change the male figure into a female one. We gave out magnetic pony tails, motivating women that on Women's International Day to place them on sports signs all over the city’s parks, to make the sports sign a female to celebrate female athletes.
Synopsis:
NIKE is one of the most recognized brands for athletes, and they are committed to building deeper community connections as well as spurring positive social change around the world. We realized that even in sports gender inequality is still a reality, 100% of Bogota´s city Sports signs in mayor parks are represented by male figure signs. Our objective was to address the inequality issue on Women's International Day, because Nike believes that everyone, regardless of gender, is an athlete.
