Dear: Morgan Feltz,
I am an intern here at Nike HQ in Los Angeles and I have decided to write to you today a consumer brief that identifies our strong points within the Nike Brand, a strong sports brand that has expanded to high-end sports appeal reaching many demographics and psychographics as well. It is understood that psychographics identify personality characteristics and attitudes that affect a person 's lifestyle and purchasing behavior. Psychographics are psychological profiles of potential customers in a market that focus on attitudes, interests, and personal opinions or perspectives, Nike’s success is no accident. Since the late 1980s, Nike has been using psychographic and sociographic analysis of data to help transform the company from a brand of sneakers to a marquee brand that has become integral to the sports culture it targets. I will be sharing with you my thoughts on our target market as well as looking at recent print ads that keep the brand’s integrity strong.
Thank you
Baden Roth
Brand Marketing Intern
