get more from running
For Zalando’s sponsorship of the 2025 Berlin Marathon, we created a campaign that celebrates what running gives back. Instead of focusing on the effort, we highlighted runner’s “mores” — from relationships and resilience to self-discovery and confidence.
Through storytelling led by seven influential runners, the campaign redefined the narrative of why people run, brought to life through films, OOH, organic social content, a concept store experience, a marathon cheer zone, brand partnerships, and two Strava challenges.
Zalando’s most successful running campaign to date and talked about everywhere from Sports Illustrated to Runners Alerts.
