Timberland Brand Voice Campaign -
BUILT FOR THE BOLD™
[Concept]
The reinvention of bold! This campaign introduces a new tone of voice for the Timberland brand and challenges old misconceptions (and stereotypes) of what bold means. Put simply, it’s about Getting Sh*t Done! Our strategy was broken into phases - (1) Tease (2) Launch (3) Localize (4) Product Storytelling. Authenticator engagement was a celebration of ‘adventurous doers’ from all backgrounds and walks of life.
From world famous icons to local heroes and from a global brand anthem to hyperlocal digital-first content and experiences - this brand campaign defines the future of Timberland and sets the tone as a North Star for the brand moving forward.

MEET IN THE MIDDLE
Vans x Timberland
Two of the most iconic footwear brands are coming together and we are converging their most iconic silhouettes together. The Vans Half Cab and the Timberland 6-Inch Boot. To celebrate Vans and Timberland are meeting in the middle. And what better place to launch it than finding the exact middle ground between the two brands headquarters – Lincoln, Nebraska.
Creative Director developing and overseeing the launch of the Adidas SL20 - Faster Than campaign activation and immersive brand experience. This was brought to life through the bespoke creation of a large-scale, interactive gaming concept, dubbed the LIGHTSTRIKE CHALLENGE, where guests put the SL20 cross-trainer to the test at the NYC Adidas flagship.
THIS IS NOT A BOOT: THE STORY OF AN ICON
In celebration of The Original Timberland Boot’s 50th anniversary, this documentary chronicles the silhouette’s rise from its rugged beginnings to bonafide streetwear staple—all from the perspective of cultural titans who witnessed and helped shape it.
For decades, the Original Timberland® Boot has proven to be a timeless staple of style and culture; built to embrace and empower communities from construction to creativity, from hip-hop to homebuilding, from fashion to fine art.
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, we’re telling the story of the Original Timberland® Boot through the lens and voices of the communities that made it an icon across the world. Visually led by a diverse team of artists - Tom Gould, Zoë Simone-Yi, and Lelani Foster - the documentary recounts stories of the boot’s humble beginnings as a construction work boot to its bold adoption across the hip-hop community and global movements such as the Milan Paninari. It is what could be called a love letter to the boot’s rich history, featuring interviews from Jeff Staple, Bircide, Angie Martinez, Thirstin Howell III, and many other changemakers and cultural icons.

Category: Men's Training
Problem: How do we define a culture that has no specific sport? How do we create a distinct voice that speaks to our athletes?
Solution: We proclaim that the road to all sports is through training. We focus on the athlete in the off-season, outside of the spotlight. We go deep into the moments of building discipline through hard work and struggle. The unsung moments spent busting his ass to get better, to improve, to overcome the odds and to break the mold. We focus on the moments when all athletes feel the urge to give up… Then we say, don’t quit! Just do it.
Great achievements are made by pushing through that breaking point.
Just Don’t Quit.
