The challenge

Nike needed consistent content across its APLA trainer network while keeping each trainer’s expertise and voice.

The approach

Give trainers clear content categories and briefs they could adapt to their own expertise and audiences.

My role

As a Freelance Senior Strategist with Conscious Minds, I brought regional and trainer input into the content categories, planning model and briefs.

What I delivered

A trainer playbook covering content guidance, briefs and planning across APLA.
