NXTsports – Nike Training Day

OVERVIEW:

Nike Training Day kicked off the NXT & Nike club aspect of our multi-year partnership.
High school teams received a pair of custom cleats exclusive to NXT before they publicly are available to purchase.
All club families were also invited to participate in the day with drills, Trashcan lacrosse, parent guidance talks by the coaching staff, and meeting Nike Athletes.

SPECIFIC DETAILS:

While holding the Vice President of Marketing role at NXT, we were presented with the opportunity to partner with Nike Lacrosse in an unprecedented multi-year contract. Nike Training Day was put together in 2 months and involved direct relationship with the internal operations team, Nike representatives, third-party vendors including facility and rental agreements, and staffing.

My direct responsibilities were:

Press Release distribution to various channels
Cleats – management on arrival and the reveal
Nike Athletes – making sure we had athletes available + setting up meet & greets
Staffing – Providing coaches T-shirts & breakfast
Facility – getting proper signage in place as well as making sure the entire facility was well-branded.
Video & Photography – 3 videographers were hired in addition to 3 full-time marketing staff to capture overall reactions, the day itself, training & drills
Social Media Coverage – continuous behind the scenes looks of what the day entailed

TAKE AWAY:

The continuation of this specific day and program will attribute to an increase in club team sign-ups, an estimated $1.5M annually, with ability to expand.
