The unperfect: advertising gets real
Even fat women and ugly men can be the models in advertising. After years of sexy bodies and beautiful faces, eventually “normal” people starts starring in ads, ending the age of perfection in advertising. Business Week points out that just like it’s happening with reality Tv, advertising tries to get real, to help consumers identify with real stories and therefore perceive products as real also. Dove, Eileen Fisher and now also Nike are among the brands following this new trend. As the article points out, reality ads might not change mass perceptions of beauty, we can expect the trend to continue as they fuel sales and draw connections with people who see the ads.
Kobe Bryant is back as Nike testimonial
ABC News reports Kobe Bryant is back in Nike’s ads on Sports Illustrated. Photographs of the basketball player have been used for the first time since his arrest two years ago (Bryant was accused of rape). The article explains “Bryant had signed a $45 million deal with Nike shortly before his arrest. McDonald’s and Nutella both dropped Bryant from their roster of celebrity endorsers after his arrest“.
Nike Women: take sport, add music
Scholz & Friends Stockholm is behind the new Nike online marketing effort to support the Women Moves campaign. The agency has created a website to present the Nike Women Moves concept with a series of animated dancing silhouettes. Infotainment content explains visitors where to find the best dance courses and which trainer suits them best. A short film “The true tale” is also available. Don’t expect too many special effects: the soundtrack is pretty good and so is the cartoon concept, but Nike used to do better. Online ads are running to drive traffic to the site targeting women in Benelux and Scandinavia.
Nike + Brazil: it’s Tiempo
Adrants reports Nike has launched a new football, pardon, “soccer” site called “Tiempo“. Created by Odopod and ourcommon, it is focused on the Brazilian culture, featuring the message “We are Brazilian. We play happy.”, and on the promotion of a new shoe, the Nike Air Legend FG. The site which has a typical Nike’s advertainment approach will further develop during the year, taking users around the world with the launch of new sections dedicated to Los Angeles (coming in February), Miami (coming in March) Dallas (in April) and New York City (in May).
Nike presents the “Chamber of Fear”
NBA player LeBron James stars in Nike’s latest campaign “Chamber of Fear,” which promotes James’ Air Zoom LeBron II shoe and are based on the 1978 Bruce Lee flick “Game of Death.” The Tv ad has been banned in China since it “violates regulations that mandate that all advertisements in China should uphold national dignity and interest and respect the motherland’s culture”. Nike has also created a complicate site and an online “Chamber of Fear” game.
An effective time-wasting experience
I loved the expression Sean Finnegan, Digital Client Communications Director, OMD, used to comment Nike’s latest microsite featured in iMedia Connection’s showcase. Nike’s “Vapor Station” presents a futuristic online experience in which users can discover the Art of Speed videos, as well as the Vapor series shoes. You can’t miss it
