Nike's Digital Landscape


The Nike brand has transformed its corporation into one of the most respected and innovative athletic apparel companies. Nike seemed to embrace the growth of the Internet as a marketing and advertising platform. A quick search of Nike on any search engine such as Google or Bing will bring initial links to the Nike online website as well as connections to other places where Nike may be sold. The main company website is beautifully designed with groundbreaking digital effects. Any information a customer may be interested in finding is available on their website. They also provide links to the “Nike Community” including links to many official Nike sponsored twitter accounts. Nike is prominent in other social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, promoting their products and expanding their brand exposure. (Nike’s Facebook page has over 12,330,313 likes!). Although the website is very impressive and massive, it is sometimes overwhelming when trying to navigate. Nike markets its many products under its own brand and sponsors many other companies. It appeals to people of all ages and sports and may need to create a few sub-websites that are more simple or user-friendly. Besides this, Nike has seemed to truly master the digital frontier.
