“Key question to me is:
When everybody is using
social media influencers
and everybody is using
Facebook, Instagram and
YouTube to do this, how
can we as ASICS stand out
and break Through?*

— ASICS FRONTRUNNER VS. INFLUENCERS
Solution: Micro-Influencer Communities
✓ They reach niche markets
✓ they add unique voices to a brand conversation
✓ they’re cost-effective.
✓ Endorsements and recommendations from content
creators of this caliber are often perceived as more
authentic than those from influencers with millions of
fans and followers, because these spokespeople
haven’t “sold out.”
✓ GOAL: long-lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships.
Become Nº1 brand in mindset of opinion leaders
and stimulate the mechanism of referral marketing:
✓ Create buzz, recruit and activate influencers
✓ Increase brand equity
✓ Raise trust, build confidence and brand
enthusiasm
✓ Be present and relevant for runners
✓ Tell authentic stories
✓ Creation of ASICS Content
✓ Social Commerce (Link to E-Com)
✓ Get the world Moving
