How building a strong brand saved a big box retailer

This is a story about the power of brand to save Big Box retailers. Over the last 5 years, big box retail has been annihilated. Six sporting goods chains (accounting for over 585 stores) have closed or filed for bankruptcy. Over 700 department stores closed.  But there is one retailer that has come out winning: Dick's Sporting Goods. Since the launch of a new marketing campaign in 2012, Dick’s has increased net sales by $2.5 billion and increased annual profits by 48%.

Conquer All Conditions

With the launch of the revamped Rogue in January 2014, Nissan Canada needed to win and win big, otherwise it risked losing out on the fast-growing CUV segment. By creating a compelling set of stories that tapped into a truth deep in the Canadian psyche about driving in winter, we managed to create truly sustainable brand distinctiveness and emotional resonance for the new model.More than three years on, our daunting medium-term share and volume targets have been blown away and Rogue is now a major player in the market.

The Budweiser Red Light – The First Goal Synced Red Light

Hockey is Canada’s biggest drinking occasion, and when Budweiser was faced with the loss of the National Hockey League (NHL) sponsorship to its rival, Molson Canadian, we had to change the game, literally. We chose to think like a fan and uncovered an idea that would change the way Canadians experience hockey. Budweiser created the first goal-synched light, the Budweiser Red Light. The light has manifested in many forms, including a Zeppelin, pint glasses, and goal-synced advertising, all catapulting Budweiser to #1 share and +6.7 pts vs Molson Canadian.
