Here’s how I developed a content calendar and creative that speaks to seasonal moments and highlights priority products.

The Ask

Create seasonally-driven content that fills calendar gaps and engages Members year-round, and engages member interests through seasonal, cross-category consumer moments.

The Challenge

Delivered volume and clicks are declining YoY, despite strong CTR, indicating a need for broader engagement strategies. An over-reliance on promotions is limiting deeper engagement with priority segments.

The Result

While testing is still in progress, the content calendar framework has already:

  • Shifted Nike’s comms mix beyond heavy promotions by introducing editorial and seasonal storytelling.

  • Created new testing opportunities to measure how brand-led content can sustain engagement year-round.

  • Provided a repeatable structure for filling calendar gaps with content that speaks to Member priorities.

Early signals show promise, with ongoing tests designed to validate the impact on engagement and delivered volume.
