Overview

Spent the World Cup writing for Nike Football in real time, working with a creative team turning match results into copy and scripts almost as fast as the games ended. Wrote for players including Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Zlatan Ibrahimović; shaped kit and boot launches, player moments, federation stories, and tournament creative across channels. Joined Nike's Global Campus for two weeks, embedded with the marketing, narrative, and brand creative teams shaping how Nike showed up for the tournament.
