jordan brand’s world of flight x 14th & market
For the opening of Jordan Brand’s first World of Flight store in the states, they tapped 14th and Market, where I managed brand management, experiential strategy, and cross-team coordination to translate Jordan’s global legacy into a hyperlocal, culturally rooted launch. From OOH storytelling to community-first programming, the opening became a love letter to Philly’s creativity, sport, and soul.
