The Minnesota Vikings have a rich history as a legacy franchise in the NFL and historically relied on the scoreboard to define success. The opportunity was in the evolution, shifting the story from stadiums to the lifestyle surrounding the sport. It started with building a creative team and establishing a vision, rejecting sameness and defying convention.

Content became the playbook. No longer defined by wins and seasonal rally cries, or highlight packages to supplement disappointing losses. We didn’t abandon what the brand was, we revealed everything it had never shown. Lifestyle-centric visuals and narratives opened the lens to capture the culture of football. This new approach leveraged authenticity on and off the field.

My team developed original programming focused on player-driven series, cinematic features, and editorial campaigns built around fashion, food, and sport. Content went behind the helmet, using players and personalities between the moments that don't make the broadcast. The work attracted a new generation while deepening loyalty in those who'd worn purple and chanted SKOL for decades. Unfiltered and iconic in the same breath. 

This repositioning of perspective was part strategy and part statement. Scaled across social, digital, broadcast, and in-stadium, the Vikings transformed from a football team into a cultural institution. Built from concept to final cut. Feed to field. Defined by storytelling.
