Timeline

March 2018 to July 2019

Snapshot

  • 1,000+ — customers in a single pop-up day

  • +4,000 — Instagram followers in 9 months

  • 3 — national outlets covering the drop

The challenge

A Vancouver streetwear label had a licensed Mitchell & Ness Grizzlies collaboration to launch, and one pop-up day to convert years of local nostalgia into queue-length demand.

What I did

Build the campaign around the collaboration's cultural weight rather than the product specs, and use social to make the pop-up itself the event.

The work

Campaign design and social for the collab drop: launch creative, countdown and community activation before the day, and coverage-ready assets that carried into TSN, CBC and Daily Hive pickup.

Stack: Campaign design, social media management, brand collaboration

  • Demand: 1,000+ customers through a single pop-up day

  • Audience: +4,000 Instagram followers over 9 months

  • Coverage: picked up by TSN, CBC and Daily Hive

A collab sells the story before it sells the product. The pop-up was the campaign, not the distribution.
