    Influencer Marketing's Effects on B2C Brand Image: A Case Study of Nike By: Judith Armenteras, Rebecca Paech & Iris Politiek Influencer Marketing's Effects on B2C Brand Image: A Case Study of Nike Judith Armenteras, Rebecca Paech & Iris Politiek Abstract Aim: To analyze how influencer marketing affects brand image. This is achieved by analyzing to which extend a B2C brand’s identity is effectively communicated to consumers through influencer marketing. Design/methodology/approach: This research is based on a single case study approach. Comparative focus groups were conducted to analyze the effects of Nike’s influencer marketing on consumers’ perceived brand image.

Thus, the hypothesis that “Influencer marketing supports a better understanding of a B2C brand’s identity” was rejected in the context of this focus group study. Originality/value: This study represents a first attempt to analyze how a B2C brand’s influencer marketing affects its brand image. Keywords: Influencer Marketing, Brand Strategy, Brand Image, Brand Identity, Business to Consumer Branding, Consumer Buying Process. Paper type: Research paper.

  • Nike's “Just Do It” Advertising Campaign
    Mini-case Study: Nike’s “Just Do It” Advertising Campaign According to Nike company lore, one of the most famous and easily recognized slogans in advertising history was coined at a 1988 meeting of Nike’s ad agency Wieden and Kennedy and a group of Nike employees. Dan Weiden, speaking admiringly of Nike’s can-do attitude, reportedly said, “You Nike guys, you just do it.” The rest, as they say, is (advertising) history. After stumbling badly against archrival Reebok in the 1980s, Nike rose about as high and fast in the ‘90s as any company can. It took on a new religion of brand consciousness and broke advertising sound barriers with its indelible Swoosh, “Just Do It” slogan and deified sports figures. Nike managed the deftest of marketing tricks: to be both anti-establishment and mass market, to the tune of $9.2 billion dollars in sales in 1997. —Jolie Soloman “When Nike Goes Cold” Newsweek, March 30, 1998 The Nike brand has become so strong as to place it in the rarified air of recession-proof consumer branded giants, in the company of Coca- Cola, Gillette and Proctor & Gamble. Brand management is one of Nike’s many strengths. Consumers are willing to pay more for brands that they judge to be superior in quality, style and reliability. A strong brand allows its owner to expand market share, command higher prices and generate more revenue than its competitors. With its “Just Do It” campaign and strong product, Nike was able to increase its share of the domestic sport-shoe business from 18 percent to 43 percent, from $877 million in worldwide sales to $9.2 billion in the ten years between 1988 and 1998.

  • FICTION BOOK CLUB August 2018 Selection Shoe Dog by Phil Knight
    NON- FICTION BOOK CLUB August 2018 Selection __________________________ Shoe Dog by Phil Knight Fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed fifty dollars from his father and launched a company with one simple mission: import high-quality, low- cost running shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the trunk of his car in 1963, Knight grossed eight thousand dollars that first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In this age of start-ups, Knight’s Nike is the gold standard, and its swoosh is one of the few icons instantly recognized in every corner of the world. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells the story at last. At twenty-four, Knight decides that rather than work for a big corporation, he will create something all his own, new, dynamic, and different. He details the many risks he encountered, the crushing setbacks, the ruthless competitors and hostile bankers—as well as his many thrilling triumphs. Above all, he recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture— that changed everything. ISBN 9781501135927 BAM! 1 Discussion Questions: 1. Discuss the book’s epigraph. Why do you think Knight chose this passage as the epigraph? How does it frame your reading of Shoe Dog? In what ways do we witness Knight grow from a beginner to an expert over the course of the book? 2.

  • Kickstart Catalog Ideas
    Kickstart Catalog Ideas Brand: Nike 1: What symbols and signs can be combined to generate a new meaning, representing the product or serviceʼs advantage? The Nike swoosh can be used as a checkmark on a checklist to convey the idea of accomplishment (like accomplishing tasks on a list), and communicate the “Just Do It” concept. 2: What opportunities for ambiguity, double meanings or wordplay are there in the words you use to describe the benefit? The Nike Shox line of shoes could be used to replace the shock paddles used during defibrillation, using the double meaning/wordplay to associate the shoes with reviving life. 3: Can you construct rhymes, puns or other kinds of wordplay from the product or brand, which will underline the subject? For the NIKEiD line of customizable shoes, a list of “Iʼd (or iʼD) like to _______” statements could be depicted, followed by “What is your iʼD? Customize your footwear to fit your fitness goals with NIKEiD.” 4: How can the benefit be depicted by inverting something familiar into its opposite? Using pictures of either acts of laziness, competing brands, or just general bad ideas, invert the tagline to “Just donʼt do it” to contrast it with the positive outcomes of using the brand. 5: How will the product change the userʼs future? Using a split-screen execution, a commercial could show how an internʼs future is different with and without a pair of Nike shoes that he keeps handy to run a crucial errand. (The future with the Nike shoes shows the intern getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while in the other future he is fired.) The tagline might say “Just in the Nike of time” for an extra wordplay effect.
