Real Women

You know what's funny, though? It's mostly women that buy the soap, though....so WGAF what the men think about the add? It's not meant for them so they can STFU.

And yes...while I really like what Nike says in their ads, the models are very thin, very athletic women. They totally neglect those of us still struggling to get that way.

I think they should focus thier ads on those women / men. the ones who are working thier asses off, determined, dedicated..... but are still "in progress" .
Casue if you start workign out in Jan, you WILL NOT be a super model in May.
It can take along time when you do it the right healthy way.

True. However, I don't think using "imperfect" women in their ads will go with their brand. Dove can get away with it, since as u said, their products are generally used by women and since they sell beauty products, they can use the the average, everyday woman as a selling point. However, Nike is a global brand used by men and women, and even kids, so I don't know how exactly they'd work it. Obviously, they'd want to show fit women using their products. Would a overweight man, huffing and puffing in the newest Nike Shox make you want to buy them?

Because good shoes lead to less foot, knee and leg problems when you're trying to get in shape. The type of shoes you are wearing make all the difference.

Yes, but my point was that it doesn't really go with the brand image and what they are trying to sell---a fit, healthy, active person.

Oh and to Obiwan. Dumb .

I think a good ad campaign for NIKE (shoes, apparel, whatever) would be:
watchign some guy or girl workout
they are not completly out of shape, but not fit either
the volume on the workout sounds is kinda exagerated
the person keeps having flashes of where they started at (like 6 months ago)
and flashes of where they are going (like 6 months in future)
the coloring for the present shots would be kinda dull,
the coloring for the past shots would be black and white with faded edges.
the coloring for the future shots would be in COLOR but with faded edges.


can you picture it?
what do you think?

Obviously you don;t buy it because of a spokesperson, but I think subconsciously it helps you remember the brand/product and their image when you go to the store and are deciding on what to buy.
