Brand Project #3 Nike


David Orr, Benjamin Pierce, Danny Holmes

Brand Project #3


Nike

Different ways they believe in: As Nike shied away from actually saying what Colin Kaepernick was involved with at the time, people that wear Nike know the situation. They then put into perspective believing in your dreams in the ad to really capture the reasoning why Kaepernick did what he did.


Stores express what they believe in: By taking a subject matter and put it into their marketing strategy. It can be a risky move to do, but with all the followers Nike has it made a huge impact on the brand.

Social Icons How they promote it: Colin Kaepernick was the face of the new Just Do It ad. With his own problems that he had faced in the NFL this was one way to promote Nike sports brand about having big dreams. That’s the whole point of having dreams “to believe in something if it means sacrificing everything” “Don’t ask if your dreams are crazy ask if there crazy enough”


Earned Media-
.Taking an opinion with the Colin Kaepernick ad
.They took a chance with a touchy subject and incorporated that with their marketing.
.As people either hate or love what Kaepernick done with the protest Nike took that into their own hands and their stock went up.

Shared Media-
Facebook: Markets the Nike Life Style with players accomplishments. https://www.facebook.com/nike

 Instagram: Nikes most used social media account. Sports players wearing Nike with an accomplishment. Also they have a small selection of new products. Main point of promoting the Nike lifestyle.  https://www.instagram.com/nike/?hl=en

 Twitter: The same thing that Instagram/Facebook promotes which is accomplishments that happen in Nike sportswear.   https://twitter.com/Nike

Owned Media-
Nike.com: Where you can find all Nike products such as shoes, sweatshirts, sweatpants, t-shirts, socks, jerseys, cleats.
.Magazines

Paid Media-
.Require resources/Colin Kaepernick ad
.Emotional responses from the audience
.Paid promotions using social media





Social Icons: LeBron James is one of the most popular, successful, and recognizable athletes in the world.
He has been for the last decade and a half ever since Sports Illustrated named him the Chosen One.
Nike signed a lifetime deal with LeBron in 2015 and have always been the main partner
since his days as a teenage rising star.
Presently, LeBron has grown and promoted himself as more than just an athlete.
As he has taken part in social activist movements,
(as has Colin Kaepernick but in a different way) taken political stances,
and donated his own resources to the less fortunate through philanthropy.



Paid Media: Copyright resources are necessary for LeBron James advertisement.
Nike also uses athletes they are partnered with to promote the company on
their own social media as well as the company’s.
Using LeBron as an example, he can promote Nike in the simplest of ways by posting photos
of different Nike sneakers he wears each game on his Instagram.

Earned Media: The I believe advertisement is attempting to emit an emotional response that revolves around motivation, expectations, and commitment. Those three factors are present with LeBron James and his basketball career is a great example of success and achievement. The main point is to believe in oneself, even when the expectations are too high or the doubts are overwhelming. The advertisement is controversial because LeBron has been criticized for being too egotistical before, but not nearly as much as a public relations risk as Colin Kaepernick. Lastly, the advertisement uses the same “It’s only crazy until you do it” phrase as the “Dream Crazy” Kaepernick commercial.
