Global Social Team Overview

Our Global Sport Brand does more than outfit the world's best athletes – we’re a place to explore potential and obliterate boundaries.  We look for leaders, who constantly think bigger by challenging convention while dreaming the impossible.      

Behind our marketing and communication is a force of creative experts, digital strategists and brand stewards telling stories of elite and everyday athletes, product innovation and sport moments across a range of channels from our retail stores to our service-based apps.  Social media is of particular importance to our marketing mix and often a primary lever to utilize when connecting with the hearts and minds of athletes* around the world.      

As the paradigm of brands on social media becomes increasingly complex, our brand Global Social Media team is responsible for building and deepening the comprehension of the space for the entire organization.  This is done by partnering, sourcing and disseminating a variety of industry and platform-specific information to anyone participating or influencing the end-to-end spectrum of content creation and distribution.  Additionally, our brand's Global Social Media is responsible for the planning, programming and publishing of all global-level channels.  As such, marrying the above information with category objectives and audiences is integral to the development and output of efficient and effective briefs and brand behavior
