Coachtopia is a bold new chapter for Coach, redefining fashion through sustainability and circularity. RIOT’s collaboration shaped its creative identity, blending Gen Z innovation with groundbreaking visuals. Explore how this revolutionary brand is building a better future for fashion.

Coachtopia needed a motion identity, and RIOT delivered. Tasked with creating unique logo stings for Coach’s new sustainability-focused brand, we designed 21 distinct animations—each bringing its own energy, personality, and purpose. Watch the final selections and explore our creative process.

Some innovations are game-changers, but only if people know how to use them. That’s where we came in. As part of our ongoing collaboration with Coachtopia, we had the rare opportunity to bring one of their most futuristic innovations to life—an NFC chip embedded in every Coachtopia product. This tiny piece of tech is a gateway into Coachtopia’s circular fashion movement. Coachtopia’s NFC chip serves as a digital passport for every product, allowing users to track its entire lifecycle. In the future, it will reveal the full journey of each item—where it’s been, how it’s been remade, and even the hands it’s passed through. But there was just one problem: most people have no idea what an NFC chip is, or how to activate it. That’s where we came in. The Challenge: Making NFC Tech Simple & Fun We needed to create something that wasn’t just a tutorial, but an experience—an engaging, easy-to-digest, hand-drawn animated film that would make learning about Coachtopia’s NFC chip effortless and entertaining. This wasn’t a generic explainer video. It had to feel alive, bursting with Coachtopia’s personality. It had to be fun, vibrant, and playful while ensuring users clearly understood how to tap into their […]

More than a premiere — this was a blueprint. RIOT created the first episode of LA Galaxy’s new Apple TV series, Galaxy Rise, setting the tone, style, and soul for a project rooted in community, inclusivity, and purpose. From visual language to local voices, we helped launch a movement.

There are trailers. And then there are cinematic rituals. For LA Galaxy’s 2023 season opener, RIOT created a war cry disguised as a film—complete with fierce choreography, emotional stills, and music supervision that hit like prophecy. This wasn’t just content. It was legacy in motion.

We’re very excited to share our ninth collaboration (!) with the Washington Commanders. Our “Making The Mascot” film is a longer form follow-up to the recently released Major Tuddy mascot teaser that was shared across a variety of media channels including social media and in stadium prior to Major Tuddy’s official reveal. Shot in documentary style over a few months, our creative agency directed the internal Washington Commanders content team on what would help create a compelling and detailed glimpse into the creation of their official mascot, Major Tuddy. We captured interactions with players from the past and present, fans, the club’s president, as well as Tuddy on the pitch for his reveal, including celebrations with the players after a touchdown.   Of major importance was to shoot the making of Major Tuddy’s mascot outfit by Bam Mascots in Toronto, Canada. During this capture we were able to highlight initial prototypes and illustrations all the way through to interviews with the hands-on craftspeople. The materials, drawings, and details were all included to show Major Tuddy’s creation in a variety of stages to help fans visually understand all the details that went into the making of Major Tuddy. You can watch […]

Our very first work for Coachtopia was early in 2022 when we were asked to come in to Coach HQ to shoot Q&A sessions with some Gen Z consumers. At that time I don’t think the full idea of Coachtopia had been formed but the importance of these sessions helped to shape the very early moments of the Coachtopia brand. Fast forward to the summer of 2022 and we were asked to create a sizzle reel that would serve as an introduction to Coachtopia to help welcome and teach potential new community members about the brand and and this new circular approach to fashion. Our sizzle reel introduction to Coachtopia was exciting to be a part of and hyped us up for the months of continued collaboration that would happen in the background. Utilizing a mixture of hand-drawn animations and user generated content we crafted a sizzle reel that Coachtopia used to help recruit Gen Z designers, activists and influencers to join the Beta Community and help shape the direction of Coachtopia as a brand. Our sizzle explains the basics of Coachtopia and how creating a circular fashion brand is essential to save our planet by providing a positive impact […]
