In today's highly competitive business world, branding has become a fundamental aspect of a company's success. A strong, well-positioned brand is the difference between failure and success in the marketplace. One example of a brand that has mastered its industry is Nike.

This sports and sportswear company has known how to become a strong and enduring brand, capturing the imagination of consumers around the world. Its success is based on several elements:

First, Nike has managed to establish a distinctive and recognisable identity. Its swoosh logo is one of the most famous and recognisable. We have seen it hundreds of times, in different places and contexts, and our first thought when we see that distinctive "tick" is always Nike.

Moreover, it has built a strong brand identity based on clear values and messages. The slogan "Just Do It" has become a motivational mantra that inspires people of all ages to push their limits and pursue their goals.

Another key element in Nike's branding is their approach to marketing and advertising. They have developed memorable and creative advertising campaigns that have resonated with consumers over the years. From famous ads featuring elite athletes to collaborations with renowned artists and designers, keeping their brand relevant and constantly evolving.

Part of this marketing work is their commitment to sports sponsorship, strengthening their brand image. Some of the most famous and successful athletes in the world with whom it has collaborated are Michael Jordan (the creation of his own model of trainers, Air Jordan), Serena Williams and Cristiano Ronaldo. These partnerships have not only increased the brand's visibility, but have also reinforced the image of excellence and success associated with the brand.

All of this is the result of a strategic approach, consistency and a deep understanding of consumers' values and desires.

Trend, passing fad or structural change: how to tell them apart before designing or communicating

31 July 2026

A passing fad attracts attention quickly, but lacks depth and has low barriers to exit. A trend shows continuity, growing adoption and observable behavioural changes. A structural change alters infrastructure, incentives, norms or capabilities. To distinguish between them, it is not enough simply to measure virality: one must gather evidence and understand what underpins the change.
