Before his big break, Ninja put in 20K hours of streaming at his keyboard. 



He invested in himself when no one was watching so he’d be ready for the moment when everyone would be watching. Breaking a streaming record while playing with some of the world’s most recognizable celebrities doesn’t happen by coincidence. It happens because of the late nights and early mornings. It happens because of the TIME IN™.

Myself and the 3AM team partnered with Loaded and adidas Originals to announce the first collaboration between the adidas Brand and Tyler “Ninja” Blevins. A truly game changing moment – one which celebrated gamers in a way that had never been done before.





LIVE UNBOXING ON MIXER

To kick off the campaign we worked with Ninja to surprise fans on Mixer and give them a first look at the Ninja "Time In" Nite Joggers. 



SOCIAL CAMPAIGN

In close collaboration with the adidas social team and Loaded we developed a social media plan across owned channels to maximize press and create a frenzy amongst his audience.
