It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but to several people it is worth much more

Bonin explains, “These techniques exemplify Nike’s core message of “Just Do It” with their own imaginative methods. Nike used a young boy as their lead role to demonstrate their message of embracing everything that’s thrown at you.” For example, the protagonist tries out soccer and scores a goal appealing to the audience that trying something new can always be fun. In every scene, we see the protagonist enjoying himself and not letting the moment of the game have too much of an effect on the way he plays. This shows that without the athletic apparel Nike showcased on the advertisement, you’re more likely to dream then make your story a reality.

Skey says, “They clearly have a strong and emotional brand for young people.” Her quote benefits the idea of the use of emotional connections with their audience in the advertisements Nike uses. Leonard states in the Shoes, Diplomas, And The American Dream article that “Nike does have a message to market. The company is selling high-school and college athletes the prospect of not just a career but a future.” It is also stated in the article that people are “Willing to invest – to bet on – the future because of the seductive allure of the American dream” (Leonard). The products Nike sells can assist in the success of an athlete due to the use of the product. If a runner was to use crappy shoes, they may lack in their abilities due to the poor quality of the shoes. Another point is that if one is successful with a Nike product, they would stay with that product or upgrade when a better quality of the product by the same company, Nike, comes out. When success is found within one company, a customer is more likely to stay within the company product

This is a Nike Football boot or soccer cleat advertisement. One thing that has to be kept in mind is that Nike didn't always make or be one the top soccer brands. There were European brands before the 2000”s which ruled the soccer industry.Later on, those brands started lacking the “mode look and taste, which caused them to slowly die out from popularity; Nike and Adidas are the top brands in this time all to most brands have their best-sponsored players. This particular brand had the following players advertise the boots in Munich, Germany: Gustavo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Shaqiri, and Ribery.Their main player who is well known throughout the world is Cristiano Ronaldo.

This event is watched by millions of people and some, if not most or all, of the athletes wear the Nike brand. This proves the sociological imagination factor of the Nike shoe because maybe people who wear or want to buy the shoe genuinely like the style, comfort or feel of the shoe. However, this brand in general, is highly influential over society in the workout world, sport world, fashion world, etc. The Nike shoe has become a symbol within professional sports and also throughout society as a

In today’s time we come across a vast amount of advertising using various forms such as outdoor billboards, print advertisements, TV commercials and online advertisements. Advertising is a very common means of getting customers to see one’s message, brand and product. However, it is apparent that advertising is intentionally deceptive in the sense that it tries to prey on one’s weaknesses as a human being. For example, beer commercials constantly use sex appeal with attractive women to charm men and perfume commercials use the idea that their product will bring women the love that they have so long desired. Likewise in the Nike advertisement featuring Serena Williams, the advertisers use vivid visual elements to convey the idea that Nike products will make the consumer popular, athletic, beautiful, skilled, talented, hardworking and ultimately successful. This definition of Nike is achieved through the use of the famous athlete, the words of the ad, her facial expression, her stance and the background scenery.

¨You can sell ice to an eskimo.¨ Ever since I was a youngster, people have always told me how much potential I had to be a salesman. Such remarks provoked me to investigate the means by which an ad is persuasive and able to influence someone to buy a product. Through diligent effort, I learned that having a catchy slogan can persuade someone to support a business or organization. Of all of the slogans in today's society, from McDonald’s to Walmart’s, the slogan that stands out to me happens to be Nike's, ¨Just do it.¨ In a commercial aired on the 25th anniversary of the slogan, the theme is to ¨Just do it¨ even if the odds are in favor of your opponent. The 90-second commercial begins by picturing average athletes who are pressured

Nike’s main strategy revolves around product branding. Their brand compromises of a swoosh logo which is accompanied by a message of “just do it”. The logo was imprinted on all of their products with the message developed to express the individuality of their target group. The branding was further promoted by Nike’s relentless approach on the quality of their product as demonstrated when considering overseas business opportunities, quality must not be compromised in order to do so. This ensures consumer satisfaction and loyalty towards Nike.

The Nike commercial starts out in a white and black screen color with an ominous white noise in the background creating a suspenseful feel to the commercial. The lack of colors oddly creates a dynamic experience. The camera is focused on an urban neighborhood while street lights bounce off the sides of houses. As the camera continues to show neighborhoods and run down basketball courts and large scale building’s reaching high into the pitch black night sky, a piano is heard in the background while an image of basketball player is shown in his snow white jersey with USA in cherry red plastered across his chest and above is the American flag. The soft notes of the piano continue to play out while images of the men’s and women’s

3. What is the Brand in the Hand concept? What does this mean to adidas and its branding efforts? It is one way to do the marketing communications. It means that company and product information can be easily delivered to people in their hands whenever and wherever possible. The media can be mobile devices, video games and the Internet. In such a way, brand awareness can be raised faster than traditional marketing communications. In the past, advertising and branding models were based primarily on 30-second commercials and magazine ads. Adidas traditionally advertised on TV and magazines as well as at sporting events and sponsor sports teams and players. But these events attract few new customers. On the other hand, increased advertisements intruding in the people’s lives made them hostile to ads and therefore more difficult for adidas to make effective advertising through the traditional way. Without moving
