The most important lesson a CEO can learn from Nike’s Jordan Brand portrayal of an aspiring female baller in their “Uncommon” ad is the importance of inclusivity and representation in marketing.
The ad features a young girl who dreams of becoming a basketball player, despite the odds stacked against her. By highlighting her struggles and triumphs, the ad sends a powerful message about the potential of all athletes, regardless of their gender or background.
In today’s world, where consumers are increasingly demanding more diversity and representation in the brands they support, the lesson for CEOs is clear: inclusivity and representation should be a core component of their marketing strategies.
