Case Study

Context

New Balance Japan needed a paid media activation tied to a Shohei Ohtani brand moment, with creative built specifically for the Japanese market rather than a regional rollout of global assets.

Challenge

The work had to feel credible to Japanese sports audiences, maintain global New Balance brand codes, and perform across paid media placements where attention windows are short and cultural fit is decisive.

Strategic Response

We built creative that leaned into the cultural weight of the Ohtani moment in Japan while holding brand consistency, and structured the edit and delivery for maximum paid media efficiency across target platforms.

Execution

Streetshow managed creative direction, post-production, platform-specific cutdowns, and Japan localization across the paid media rollout.

Outcome

The activation gave New Balance Japan a culturally aligned campaign asset purpose-built for local audience resonance and paid media performance during a high-attention brand moment.
