We turned the holiday hassle of wrapping gifts into a song…and a full-blown cultural moment.

Every retailer runs the same tired holiday gift guide, so DICK's needed a way to connect with culturally fluent shoppers who tune out standard advertising entirely.

Overview

What if the hardest thing to wrap under the tree became the easiest thing to talk about?

Our approach

We crowned LSU star and recording artist Flau'jae Johnson the "Greatest Wrapper in the Game," turning her double life as rapper and (w)rapper into a campaign about the challenge of wrapping notoriously bulky sports gear and equipment, inclusive of a hero video, limited-edition wrapping paper, and an in-store giveaway.

The results

The campaign earned 45 placements and 783M impressions in outlets like Ad Age and Women's Health, sold out all 420 wrapping paper rolls within hours, and convinced DICK's leadership to put national ad dollars behind the content.
