Client & Market Context

Nike’s Search for Believable FOOH Creative

Nike approached us after its previous creative partner delivered AI-generated social assets that looked inconsistent, physically inaccurate, and visually soft. The brand needed premium fooh ads content that could match its global visual standards and feel native to high-attention digital campaigns.

Moving from Artificial-Looking Outputs to Brand-Ready Visuals

Nike needed a new production direction for fooh ads after earlier experiments failed to meet internal review standards.

Visual Results

Motion-Led Social Asset Set

A coordinated series of animated billboard shots, product-focused compositions, and static campaign renders designed for Nike’s social rollout. The final set combined spectacle, realism, and clean branding across both video and still formats.

Free guide: a launch uses $8,550 of visuals and orders $20,910

The visuals above were made for a launch, a campaign or a funding round. Orders like these tend to grow from the feature list: every screen, every device, a long explainer. In our priced composite the order came to $20,910, while the visuals that did the work cost $8,550. The guide gives you the priced order, the five items worth making, including one CGI advertising stunt, and the short brief to send.

What was the main issue with the previous agency’s work?

The earlier concepts relied heavily on AI-generated imagery, which resulted in unrealistic composition, poor material detail, and inconsistent visual quality. For Nike, that level of finish was not strong enough for brand-facing social content.

Why did you use camera tracking instead of a fully AI workflow?

Camera tracking allowed us to match the real environment with precision and build CGI elements that behaved naturally in perspective, motion, and scale. That made the final visuals significantly more believable.

Which software was used in production?

The core production pipeline was built around tracked footage, 3D scene reconstruction, modeling, shading, animation, and rendering in Cinema 4D, followed by compositing and final polish.

Did the project include only animation?

No. In addition to the hero animation, we created static renders for social media so the client could extend the campaign across multiple content formats without losing visual consistency.

What kind of assets were delivered to Nike?

We delivered a hero animated sequence, supporting billboard-style variations, polished still renders for social channels, and campaign-ready visuals adapted for different digital placements.

Why did the final result work better?

Because the visuals combined spectacle with realism. Instead of looking artificially generated, the campaign felt integrated into a real urban scene, which made the content more premium, more credible, and more aligned with Nike’s brand standards.
