CHALLENGE

A heritage brand reaching new sport audiences.

Oakley has anchored elite sport for 50 years, with 850+ patents and PRIZM lens tech. The challenge: extend that performance halo into newer cultural moments, like cricket, flag football, esports, and global lifestyle, without losing the brand's competitive edge.

SOLUTION

11 partners. Athletes plus culture.

Ainfluencer coordinated 11 partners around Oakley's brand pillars: global sport icons like Virat Kohli, breakout athletes like flag football star Diana Flores and elite marathoner Emily Sisson, esports voices, regional brand amplification through Oakley Brasil, and lifestyle macros. Each piece shot in-context, on-field, on-stream, or on the road.

RESULT

75M+ reach. 12% engagement.

A 12% engagement rate, roughly 7x sport-category paid social benchmarks. Anchored by celebrity sport audiences and amplified by niche credibility. Content Oakley can repurpose across product pages, paid social, regional campaigns, and retail partner co-marketing.

Why Macro

Why macro-creators and athletes were the right call for Oakley.

For a heritage performance brand like Oakley, macro-creators and global athletes pair celebrity-scale reach with sport-specific credibility. The mix delivers the product proof, cultural cachet, and audience scale required to move both performance buyers and lifestyle consumers.

  • Polished video skills, no extra production cost
  • Built-in audiences in specific niches
  • Trust that paid ads can't buy
