"Our engagement with Billups Design has resulted in increased traffic, conversions and revenue over the past 24 months.

Billups Design has brought cutting-edge insights, usability and information architecture expertise and design brilliance to every site evolution and content improvement. Our rapid growth has been driven in large part by their leadership in all our online initiatives.

In addition, Billups has been our “go-to agency” for the development of custom ad solutions for important Gannett advertisers like Nike, P&G/Secret, U.S. Army and GM/ Pontiac. Billups Design’s ability to meet Nike’s high brand and design standards has resulted in some really great work (read – profitable) for Nike+ Human Race, NIKEiD “Show Your Colors”, and Nike Women's “Delicious Training.”

client

Nike wanted to reach young women 12-18 for their Nike Women Delicious Trainingcampaign. Highschoolsports.net reaches this audience at 18,000 high schools inthe US.

challenge

These young women represent a school team and want to show their excitement and dedication to the training that goes into being successful, as an individual and as a team. A Nike Delicious Team contest would harness this excitement and unity of training for their team, as they express themselves with team photos defining what “Delicious is…” A dynamic digital ad campaign communicating this same message can run on HighSchoolsports.net (Gannett) to target and drive theF12-18 audience to the contest.

solution

To make these ideas a reality, Billups Design developed the messaging and created a “Nike DeliciousTraining Contest” site and ad campaign to attract and engage the audience. The contest asks the female students and teams to “upload and vote for the photo of your favorite female athlete’s or team’s personal bests for the chance to win aDelicious Training session with a Nike athlete.”

impact

The Nike Women’s Delicious Team Contest site and ad campaign increased awareness of Nike Women Delicious Training message, drove participation and engagement within the contest, and received more contest entries than were expected.
