➢ Connecting with influencers
Nike has always been great at creating two-
way interactions between fans and brands.
Nike optimizes this capability and dominated
social media by creating a sense of
community and connection with its fans. This
campaign specifically caught my eye on social
media because it was engaged with and
advertised by many people.

10. Results

11. This “Color Your Air Max” campaign
dramatically increased sales for the Nike Air
Max shoes. Customers were lining up outside
of stores across many different countries to
ensure they were able to buy the new Air
Max’s. The campaign also increased Nike’s
presence on Instagram, with many people
flooding Instagram with their own designs.

12. My final thoughts

13. ● This campaign sparked a lot of attention
worldwide
● Used popular Instagram influencers to
build brand awareness. Nike reached out
to sneakerheads specifically to promote,
which I believe was a clever move
● This campaign also allowed customers
to get more of a hands on experience
and use their creativity. Doing so created
more of a memorable experience for
current and potential customers
● Made consumers feel that they’re worthy
of their attention and loyalty
● By connecting with influencers through
influencer outreach, Nike reached a
larger audience
