We're looking to pair three editors with lululemon ambassadors to create weekly suites of at-home RUN, TRAIN, and YOGA videos for Instagram and YouTube to bring the sweatlife to lululemon guests safely quarantining at home. Each editor will be paired with an ambassador to create four weeks of content, which the ambassadors will film themselves and hand off to their editing partner to cut together into a suite of social assets.
Each suite of content will consist of longer- and shorter-form assets for lululemon's Instagram and YouTube, as well as the ambassador's Instagram.
The deliverables for RUN and TRAIN are slightly different than the deliverables for YOGA:
DELIVERABLES FOR RUN: The RUN editor will create the following suites of content, once a week for four weeks:
- INSTAGRAM
- One 9x16 IGTV – up to 10 minutes
- 4x5-safe baked-in subtitles (from .SRT files)
- One 9x16 Instagram Story – 3 slides, each :06–:10 seconds
- Ambassador introduction
- One "trailer" slide of the workout
- Swipe up CTA

TARGET AUDIENCE: lululemon guests and anyone searching for at-home workout content.
TONE: Uplifting, inspiring, fun
EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES:
- The long-form content for IGTV and YouTube will vary by vertical:
- RUN and TRAIN: These videos will be up to 10 minutes and should cover the basics of each workout, tips and modifications, and motivation from the ambassador
- YOGA: These videos will be up to 30 minutes to show the full yoga flow
- You must specify which vertical you are pitching against using the provided dropdown menu. Budgets for the YOGA vertical can be slightly higher – see the Open Bid section below for more detail.
- You are encouraged to pitch against multiple verticals if interested in creating content for more than one.
- Instagram Story content will need to be delivered as individual slides, not a strung-together video file.
- In your Pitch, address how you will elevate UGC footage to create beautiful, cohesive videos. Please include any relevant links.
- Your Pitch should walk through how you'd create both short-form social content and longer-form workout content that feels organic to the vertical and lululemon's social channels. How will you use graphics and music to package your content? Please include any relevant links.
- lululemon will provide graphics to use in your videos and a template for your YouTube endcard.

- By participating in this open bid project, creators acknowledge that the Sponsor is under no obligation to greenlight a bid. Though most open bid projects on our platform do move forward with a greenlit bid, we will notify you in the event the Sponsor decides not to fund any bids via the project forum. Regardless of the result, all open bid submissions will be reviewed and evaluated by the Sponsor and the project team.
In order to be considered for this project, you must include the below materials in your pitch submission. For examples of effective pitches, check out this gallery.

- PREFERRED VERTICAL (REQUIRED): You must select your preferred vertical (RUN, TRAIN, or YOGA) from the dropdown menu.

If you have relevant editing links against any of these verticals, please include those in your links.

Consider submitting a pitch video in which you tell the Sponsor what they can expect should they choose your pitch. Also, test videos, animatics, etc. are welcome.
