Consumer engagement agency Match Marketing Group is opening a new office in Portland, OR thanks largely to its growing adidas experiential work. 

The agency's Boulder HQ will serve as part of a "long hallway" approach that realigns team roles to more effectively serve adidas and "put the right feet on the ground next door to the adidas village to maintain competitiveness and drive new business goals," says an agency representative.

Creative Director Nicholas Ross will serve as the Portland creative team leader alongside a half dozen other transfers and new hires. 

“Portland is place where you go to test the waters of the innovative, the uncharted, and impossible,” said Ross. “It’s also where talent has collected, raising a competitive bar and evolving the creative mindset across the industry.”

The agency's client roster includes BRP, Diageo, Ford, Lincoln, Progressive, Hasbro and Nespresso.
