    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. Findings: In the empirical research, both the control groups’ and the influencer marketing groups’ perceived brand image matched closely Nike’s identity. 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. Introduction to connect with their consumers to create a lasting value and loyalty (Kapferer, 2012).

  • 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.

How about a used pair of the Air Yeezy 2s for $4,600? (“Air Yeezy 2 Solar Red”). I hope you’re a size 13. As absurd as that price tag sounds, these are not just a pair of expensive shoes. That’s because the Air Yeezy 2 is rapper Kanye West’s second collaboration with the sneaker brand Nike and is a perfect example of how popular the collaborations between hip-hop figures and shoe compa- nies are. Although it was once unusual for hip-hop artists to negotiate a deal to brand and design sneakers, such joint efforts have resulted in some of the most coveted and highly-priced shoes in the world.

  • Competing in Cedar: Nike, Superstar Athletes, and the Unseen Strangers Who Make Our Shoes
    Competing in Cedar | 7 Competing in Cedar: Nike, Superstar Athletes, and the Unseen Strangers Who Make our Shoes Matthew S. Vos, Covenant College Abstract Nike’s global dominance in the athletic shoe and sports apparel market is without serious rival. Its current worth stands at $32.4 billion worldwide. Nike manufactures through an “export-processing system,” where the intellectual work of design and marketing takes place in the US and the labor-intensive assembly work takes place in hundreds of factories spread throughout Asia. Consequently, most Nike labor comes from young Asian women who typically work 10-13 hours per day with frequent forced overtime, and who earn around 50% of the wage required to meet subsistence needs. Nike’s cultural hegemony and “hip” image gains traction through celebrated athletes of color who enchant the public and powerfully showcase the company’s products. Using ideas from W. E. B. Du Bois, as well as Immanuel Wallerstein’s world-systems theory, this essay draws attention to the relationship between the women of color who work in Nike’s factories and big sport – in particular the athletes who profit greatly from Nike endorsements. The focus falls on how some exceptional athletes of color offer, perhaps unwittingly, a potent legitimation for a glitzy industry that is inextricable from the exploited labor and lives of girls and women of color – the unseen strangers who make our shoes. Keywords: Nike, strangers, sport, capitalist world-system, meta-national corporations, supply chains, export-processing, endorsements “Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbors work for nothing, and does not give them their wages; who says, “I will build myself a spacious house with large upper rooms,” and who cuts out windows for it, paneling it with cedar, and painting it with vermilion.
