It is a male oriented commercial. Nike tried to show that tennis is not only a formal gentlemen sport by incorporating heavy rock, which was one of the most popular music genre at the time. In this ad, the rock music in the background is used to appeal to a wider range of customers. Nike uses an authority figure such as a tennis coach that dictates rules not to break. However, the player protrayed in this ad breaks all theses rules in order to become better. This sense of boldness from the player combined with the rock music behind, sends an unspoken message of accessibility for all. The commercial itself looks like it is selling you the idea to play the sport of tennis rather than actually trying to sell you a Nike tennis product. Therefore, if you do get influenced by the commercial to start playing the sport, as a consumer, you would most likely purchase a Nike product, since it was the brand that converted you.]]> 2019-04-03 12:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348027996 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028038 The positioning in this ad is by situation. Nike advertises its gear as essential when playing tennis. 
It is successful because you can can associate the nike brand to the sport of tennis. When the tennis player breaks all the rules of the authority figure in the ad, that tennis player embodies the slogan of nike "Just Do It".]]> 2019-04-03 12:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028038 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028113 Demographics:

With all the recent accusations of sexual assault surfacing in the entertainment world, Nike chose to attack this issue with Serena Williams accomplishments. She is the greatest tennis player of all time, and with all odds stacked against her, she still made a name out of herself through hard work and dedication. Nike uses the fact that Serena comes from nothing and achieved everything to demonstrate how women in general are powerful and as fearless as men, and that they're potential should be aknowledged equally and not ignored. By putting Serena Williams as their star for tennis as, Nike is trying to inspire women, visible minorites and underpriviledged classes to achieve greater things.]]> 2019-04-03 12:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028191 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028222 The positioning in this ad is by leadership. Through Serena Williams, Nike implicitely conveys how the greatest player of tennis of all time only wears the best gear.It is successful because you can see how the greatest player of tennis of all time wears the Nike brand. Moreover, you can also notice how Serena Williams also embodies the Nike slogan "Just Do It" by listening to her coach and by succesfully performing all of his orders. ]]> 2019-04-03 12:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/348028222 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352264383 -In the world of tennis, where it is a mostly caucasian male oriented sport, Nike tries to breakthrough to that norm by commercializing the elite player Serena Williams. 
-Within this advertisement Nike tries to grab the attention of the  African-American youths, boys and girls to purchase their Nike tennis  product.
- By the influence of her prestige performances  Nike can benefit from the showcase of this commercial to boost up their sales, by the demonstration of how shes a elite player with a strong passion of this sport. ]]> 2019-04-17 12:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352264383 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352266980 2019-04-17 12:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352266980 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352269005 -Two different settings, empty tennis court and tennis game with a crowd

In this article, Simona Botti, an associate professor of marketing mentions how Nike has always been very adaptable. She also writes how Nike had no difficulties staying true to its brand. This article should be included because of its relevance and accuracy to the way Nike choses to make their commercials.

This article by Brett Shevack reports how many companies that make the choice of including celebrities in their advertisement can suffer from this decision. This article should be included because most of Nikes commercials include famous athletes.

Sales increase by 84% that same year.
The ad seemed to have been commercially successful. This research does coincide with the fact that this ad was trying to target a wider range of people. Although the ad was portrayed though a specific demographics, psychographics, geographics and behavioural response, this ad did try to incorporate through the use of popular music of the time, a wider range of customers. Which can be linked with a 84% increase that year for NIke stocks.]]> 2019-04-17 13:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286326 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286607 The ad was creatively successful. The ad did not win any awards however by using Andre Agassi as a brand promoter, Nike definitely tried to better its brand through the perspective of esteem and prestige. Moreover, the use of Agassi and him breaking all rules in the ad perfectly conveys the slogan of the Nike brand. This ad was perfectly done, subtle in the targetting of its market, efficient in the message it sent and succesful in the goal it tried to achieve.]]> 2019-04-17 13:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286607 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286673 https://www.cnbc.com/2018/12/20/nike-earnings-q2-2019.html
Sales increase
This ad was greatly made. It was one of the many bold ad nike released this year. The boldness of this empowering ad for the female gender, visible minorities and less prosperous classes, was well used to target the general population. This vast market definitely led to Nike being a prefered brand for social responsible reasons, which increased their sales for 2018.]]> 2019-04-17 13:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286673 kevin_sieu https://padlet.com/kevin_sieu/8yf6xhv4eesh/wish/352286713 The ad was creatively successful. It has not won any awards. Despite this ad not specifically winning any awards, this ad was complementary to multiple ads labelled DREAM CRAZY by Nike. One of the main ads of this gender empowerment campaign was the day after the oscars, the number 25th on YouTube trending page and was viewed approximately 3.5 million time less than 24 hours after its release.Moreover, this year, Nike has been using controversial ads in order to promote its brand. This ad is one of the many complementary ads that resulted after the Colin Kapernick one. This type of boldness in ads by Nike has showed promising potential in sales increase. After the Colin Kapernick ad, Nike shares rose 31%. In parallel of the race inequality in the states that resulted in the Kapernick ad, gender inequality, was also quite predominant in the year of 2018. With the #METOO movement, this ad of Serena Williams was a perfect fitting for this movement. Moreover, this ad also managed to incorporate visible minority issues and the problem of disparity in social classes in the states.
