Nike creating profit

Nike create profit from their advertisements as they get famous people to be in their ads so if someone sees the famous person in it then the customer will most likely want to buy it,  to look like them or get inspiration from the celebrity
















The core message of the campaign is to make customers buy their products and watch their ads relating and promoting the product so customers are more educated on it and can tell there friends about it. The Find your greatness ad below could be inspiring for your teenagers getting across a message to say if you get nike you will automatically become into fitness and start exercising because we know in the picture below that the boy is overweight but could be saying since he bought nike clothing he's immediately started to try and get into the right shape. Also the other ad below is an advert showing a picture of Ronaldo and when he scores a goal it only lasts a second but everyone will remember it in history this is a good footballer to it in the ad for nike as nearly everyone should know who he is and if its a really famous celebrity promoting their product more people will wanna buy it.
