Didn’t See It Coming with Marc Stoiber
Business:Marketing
Last week, Nike launched a monumental ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick. With the rallying cry Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything the campaign took a bold political stance and - I would argue - threw down the gauntlet at the Tweeter in Chief, Donald Trump.
It worked. After an initial dip on the stock market, Nike sales are up 31%.
But this begs the question: should a shoe company court political controversy to sell sneakers?
I went on the air with CFAX's Mark Brennae to discuss why this move was 100% true to Nike's brand. As well, we chatted about the sort of brand attributes that align with bold, risky moves, and discussed famous fails in this area.
Enjoy the conversation!
