Better Than Roses


In 2021, Fila collaborated with Düsseldorf DDB for their Better Than Roses Valentine's Day campaign, offering a refreshing alternative to the traditional gift of roses. Instead, the campaign spotlighted Fila's exclusive Valentine’s-themed sneakers as the perfect expression of love. My role in the project was to design the motion graphics, creating organic Instagram videos that placed the sneakers at the center of attention. The animations featured intricate background designs inspired by the sneakers' heart-shaped details, forming a kaleidoscopic effect that resembled blooming flowers. This dynamic motion design elevated the product and beautifully reinforced the campaign's message of choosing something unique and modern over the cliché of roses.

IMPACTS & RESULTS: 

The campaign garnered significant attention, with over 50,000 impressions across Instagram. This led to a noticeable increase in brand engagement, particularly on Instagram, where the motion graphics resonated with Fila's target audience. The dynamic, visually captivating content not only showcased the unique Valentine’s-themed sneakers but also sparked conversations around reimagining traditional gift-giving.
