Run for the Oceans
/ˈædɪˌdæs/
Run for the Oceans is one of adidas’ largest sustainability initiatives and engages runners globally in the fight against marine plastic pollution. For every 1KM run, adidas donates $1 to the Parley Ocean School to educate the next generation of ocean activists. So, how did we get the world running...? We trash talked them into action and created the largest asset publishing campaign in adidas’ history.

THE PARLEY OCEAN SCHOOL
We started by telling the story of the Parley Oceans School to show people what they were running for. Educational social content gave a face to the plastic pandemic.

TRASH TALK
To get everyone off their butts and running for the oceans we enlisted the help of adidas’ network of athletes, celebrities and running crews to trash talk the world into action.
