Creating the collective

During our years of work with Foot Locker, M&C Saatchi Talk have positioned the brand as the gateway to sneaker culture across Europe by seeding the latest products to key influencers in the sneaker community.

In doing so, we have created ‘The Foot Locker Collective’, a hand-picked group of sneakerheads and lifestyle influencers that we have built an exceptional relationship with. We work with them to co-create video content and experiences including an annual pan-European event showcasing all the latest sneakers and an annual sponsorship of London Fashion Week.

A tiered approach

In the last two years alone, M&C Saatchi Talk have worked with over 800 Sneakerheads & lifestyle influencers for Foot Locker, using a tiered approach from paid to organic seeding to drive desirability for the brand across EMEA.
