Nike
Nearly anyone and any business can “just do it” with Nike. As an inescapable worldwide athletic brand, of course Nike is always a strong contender for any customer needing apparel, caps or bags for a team, league or active event.
It’s also one of those universal brands that can crossover for practically any purpose. As Nike’s mission statement says:
BRING INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION
TO EVERY ATHLETE* IN THE WORLD.* If you have a body, you are an athlete.
So for any of your clients, it’s always worth considering how a Nike polo, tee, sweatshirt or other style can step up their game and visibility.
One final thought: Remember what Nike and Michael Jordan achieved together (or check out the recent big-screen take on the story). It’s the ultimate example of a well-done brand association that raises the bar for everyone.
