Founded in the 1960s, Nike has become a household name, known for its iconic “swoosh” logo and its commitment to innovation in sportswear. One of Nike’s most famous advertising campaigns is “Just Do It”, which featured a series of ads that showed athletes and other people pushing themselves to the limit, accompanied by the slogan “Just Do It.” This was hugely successful and strengthened Nike’s position as a brand that encourages people to strive for greatness and push their limits. Nike’s advertising campaigns have created a brand image that is focused on performance, determination, and pushing oneself to achieve greatness. The brand is associated with high-quality sportswear that is designed to help people perform at their best, whether they are professional athletes or just working out at the gym. The impact of Nike on young people is significant. The brand has become a symbol of ambition and determination; it is seen as inspiring by young people and it is also fashionable. Moreover, Nike’s emphasis on innovation has made it a popular brand among young people who are interested in technology and cuttingedge design. However, Nike has also faced criticism for some of its practices, including accusations of sweatshop labour and exploitation of workers in developing countries. Some young people have become disillusioned with the brand as a result of these issues. Overall, Nike remains a powerful and influential brand among young people, with its iconic logo and message of determination and achievement. 230 K Key Semester Check Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
