Nike just reclaimed its spot in culture 🏈 After 27 years, Nike finally returned to the Super Bowl stage—and they did it with a statement: Women. Sports. Legacy. This is IP-building at its finest if you ask me.

Best-performing posts
Ranked by likes, across everything we analysed.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have run The Row since 2006 without a single advertisement, without personal social accounts, and without letting phones inside their runway shows — guests are handed paper and a pen. Almost nothing leaks.
Netflix has an internal name for shows built to be half-watched. They call it "casual viewing", made to run on your second screen while your phone is the first. Spotify does the same to what you listen to.
When I worked at PUMA Group, I learned that the brand's history survived because one man understood its importance before anyone else. Helmut Fischer was a visionary of his time. He founded PUMA's first marketing department in 1980, before the brand had any marketing structure in place.
Nike just got removed from the S&P 100. Not the S&P 500. The 100, which is the shortlist the market treats as America's core companies. Nike had held a place there since 2008. On September 21 it comes off, alongside Colgate-Palmolive, Simon Property Group, and Honeywell Aerospace.
