NIKE: #BetterForIt Campaign

Nike is prominent for its sports brand image. Without a doubt, we can see the success of this company. Heck, success would be an understatement. Usually, when we are looking for anything related to sportswear, Nike would be one of the first choices any of us would think of. Don’t you agree?

Nike has created itself as one of the top brands all over the globe – this is especially true under the sports category. The Nike Swoosh, is one of the most recognizable logos in the world, has made Nike one of the most highly valued and most successful brands today.
