It was an eye opening experience learning about sex trafficking and the impact it has on so many peoples lives. Learning about Skull games and what they do to combat this issue gives me hope that there can be tangible change, and I am honored to have been able to share a small part of their story. It is amazing to see companies like @wartribegear see the value and net positive that @skullgames.io brings to the world and lead by example by collaborating and creating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi that 100% of proceeds goes into supporting Skull Games and their mission of combating sex trafficking.

If you have the ability please support this, and tell the people around you to support this cause.

The reality that not all dreams end up on the podium. A side of grappling culture we don’t often see reflected

We’re fixing bad branding in jiu jitsu and combat sports by creating a concept brand to teach other brands how we launch campaigns

Our focus isn’t on jiu jitsu, it’s on jiu jitsu people

The Niah campaign centers around one character that mirrors a side of jiu jitsu culture that brands don’t highlight. We intentionally introduced him in a situation where he’s letting his friend down. He’s waking up in the world we built, and when he does, he is late. Characters become the voice and face of your campaign’s message.

Jiu jitsu culture from an untold perspective

Building the world where your brand exists places your audience somewhere they recognize or can imagine themselves in. Every emotion they feel becomes associated with your brand. You don’t need to explain who you are because the environment does it for you
