HOKA MAVERICKS
— The Challenge —
To introduce ultra-running brand to a premium consumer audience across France, UK and Germany, by building an association between running and other passions such as music, dance, food and adventure. The campaign needed to leverage existing athletes as well as credible new talent.
— TCO Solution —
Over six months our Huck x HOKA ONE ONE 'Mavericks' partnership told unexpected stories of inspirational characters who have found a new perspective through running.
Sourced from Huck's network of contributors as well as finding untold stories of HOKA athletes, we uncovered narratives that motivate runners to reflect on how running has helped them break personal barriers and consider the possibility of blazing their own trails.
