    Under Armour and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady Form Multi-Year Partnership

    Under Armour and Three-Time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady Form Multi-Year Partnership Signing of Future Hall of Fame Quarterback Elevates Under Armour's NFL Roster, Re-asserts Brand's Dominance in Football Baltimore, MD (November 8, 2010) - Under Armour (NYSE:UA), the Baltimore, MD-based leader in sports performance apparel, footwear and accessories, announced today a multi-year partnership with three-time Super Bowl champion and NFL Most Valuable Player, Tom Brady. The owner of multiple NFL records and one of the winningest quarterbacks of all time, Brady is the highest profile team sport athlete to join the Under Armour family. As the newest member of the Under Armour team, Brady will appear in various in-store and advertising promotional campaigns. Brady bolsters a formidable offensive line-up for Under Armour, who also reached agreements earlier this season with Pro-Bowl wide receivers Miles Austin and Anquan Boldin. Brady will be wearing Under Armour apparel and footwear for training and will also be debuting a new customized Under Armour Fierce cleat in games in the near future. "Tom Brady represents a lot of what Under Armour is all about," said Kevin Plank, Founder and CEO, Under Armour. "He's humble and hungry and continues to be focused on winning and getting better every single day. We're proud to have him in our brand as he continues to re-write the NFL record books." A two-year starter at the University of Michigan, Brady was overlooked by most NFL teams before the New England Patriots claimed him with the 199th selection of the 2000 NFL Draft.

    JAY CHIAT AWARDS 2015 SUMMARY This Is the Story of How Under Armour Turned Their Uber-Masculine Sportswear Brand Into a Symbol of Female Athletic Aspiration

    JAY CHIAT AWARDS 2015 SUMMARY This is the story of how Under Armour turned their uber-masculine sportswear brand into a symbol of female athletic aspiration. We set out to solve a critical business problem—how does Under Armour win over a massive new target that outright rejects the brand? It started with a truth about how their new target approaches fitness, then evolved into a big cultural insight about what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century. This translated into a creative idea that connected Under Armour’s strong performance values to the true stories of women today achieving success on their own terms. The campaign put the brand at the heart of a cultural conversation, achieving a complete turnaround in connecting with their new target and an astonishing 28-percent sales increase. Even more, the campaign became a rallying cry that women everywhere could truly call their own. JAY CHIAT AWARDS 2015 2 BACKGROUND CORE ATHLETE Under Armour was born out of football in 1996 with the mission to make all athletes better. Their performance products were game-changing, putting the brand second to Nike in US sportswear. $2.8 Their meteoric rise to the top was propelled by overwhelming popularity among male athletes. But at the cost of this, Under Armour had forgotten about half the population. BILLION In 2013, the women’s business was seriously lacking, contributing only 17% of Under Armour’s total revenue of $2.3 billion. In the past 24 months, however, women’s sportswear brands like Lululemon, Champion, and Victoria’s Secret added $975 $11.4 million in revenues to their businesses—making women’s the fastest growing segment BILLION within the sportswear category.

Title: Apparel Brand Perceptions: An examination of consumers’ perceptions of six athletic apparel brands Abstract Approved: _____________________________________________________________ Kathy Mullet Brands are becoming more relevant in today’s society, especially in order to differentiate among competitors and in the eyes of the consumer. As a result of this relevance, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain a strong brand perception among consumer markets. Therefore, it is fundamental for brands to understand how consumers perceive them and if this aligns with how brands want to be perceived. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the importance of branding and brand perception. An online survey was conducted to determine the perception of six apparel companies regarding ten characteristics.
