Nike's campaign "Just Do It" was huge when it came out. When Nike  first came out with this slogan it was a huge deal that everyone and anyone took notice to. According to hubspot the "Just Do It" came abroad because at first Nike was just for runners until fitness became more of a big deal, so they decided to market Nike by expressing that people need to just do it.

Fontein argued the success of big businesses was through social media and that small businesses can be just as successful as big ones, all they need to do is use social media to their advantage. She uses 7 case studies to show what social media account they use and how they use them to market to their demographics.

When I first started at LBCC I had an interest in business and was excited about marketing. I had dabbled in marketing my freshman year in high school and stayed interested. Marketing is a great way to get ideas heard and out there in creative ways.
