KAMP was given the opportunity to reveal a once-in-a-lifetime, one-of-a-kind collectors card to the world: The Lebron and Bronny James dual autograph from Bowman 1 of 1. Narrated by Lebron James himself, the card was unveiled at the end of a 60-second film. Lebron tells the Origin of Greatness story by looking at where it all started for him and sharing the distinct origin stories of some legendary first Bowmans; Caleb Williams, Julio Rodríguez, Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, Bryce Young and Ronald Acuna Jr.

KAMP crafted a set for the film, seen through the mind's eye of our narrator, that reveals the details of this prestigious collector's space. We carefully selected and designed specific corners of the room to align with each athlete and their respective moment of greatness.

In 2016, we partnered with adidas to introduce AlphaBOUNCE to the market as the first adidas running shoe to exist at the intersection of sport and culture.

Through a series of dynamic campaigns, we collaboratively expanded the consumer’s interest in running past its traditional demographic. Our team established the AlphaBOUNCE as a shoe not just for runners, but for athletes who need to run to train, employing a more training-lifestyle-driven approach to its imaging, strategy, and promotion.


American Football wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins fronted the inaugural AlphaBOUNCE campaign introducing this new member to the adidas Running family. Communication touchpoints attracted consumers with the concept of “flow state”, positioning AlphaBOUNCE as the footwear that enables the athlete to reach a zone where confidence, determination and clarity flow as one — creating a sense of limitless performance.

With the opportunity to work directly with adidas’ product design team to create the identity for a brand-new shoe franchise we jumped at the opportunity to develop the sharpest product positioning for a shoe franchise that adidas Running had ever seen.

Gil Scott Heron's legendary track “Running" became the anthem for AlphaBOUNCE’s second act, bringing the story of limitless performance to a wider reach of athletes who run to dominate their sport. This curation of cross-category adidas athletes included: Carlos Correa, Justise Winslow, Moriah Jefferson, and Marcus Peters.

The mantra “Don’t Call Me a Runner” lead us into the world of imagining athletes running in and around their zones of sport, where lines of sport provided a graphic thread throughout our films and corresponding photography.

Run the Game reinforced AlphaBOUNCE as the game-changing running shoe designed to give athletes the edge they need to control their field of play. This expansive globetrotting effort captured adidas athletes on their respective fields of play across the globe.

Athletes included Gareth Bale (Madrid, Spain), Damian Lillard (Portland, OR), Caroline Wozniacki (New Orleans, LA), Beauden Barrett (London, UK), Florencia Galarza (Portland, OR), James Harden (Houston, TX), Landon Collins (New York, NY), Ning Zetao (Bejing, China).

Instinct brought the rapidly growing franchise into the future to tell a dynamic story. The campaign highlights AlphaBOUNCE’s latest torsion tech system’s many benefits in reaching “flow” state; a realm of determination an athlete channels in moments of seemingly effortless domination.

The Topps 2023 Series 1 cover featured Seattle Mariner and 2022 American League Rookie of the Year, Julio Rodríguez. To leverage his cover star status, we created The J-Rod Show, a humor-focused campaign that captures Rodríguez’s charisma and channels the joy of the card-collecting hobby.


Throughout the campaign, Rodríguez takes the spotlight in a series of classic TV show formats. From a home shopping channel to a Bob Ross parody, J-Rod introduces the Series 1 product into a greater pop culture conversation.

The campaign launched with the J-Rod Show teaser going live on the massive “Beast” billboard in Times Square.
