Question 2
In 1996, a graduate from the University of Maryland, Kevin Plank founded Under Armour, a performance apparel company that now competes with some of the top apparel brands in the industry. During its first ten years of operations, the company was known primarily for its sweat-wicking clothing line. In late 2010, however, Under Armour released its first line of basketball shoes since the company's inception. Along with the new product line, the company must have a new brand image, said Plank. I called our marketing team and asked them to go through this building and find anything that says that we are only an apparel brand and throw it away.. The company has also removed all advertisements carrying the word apparel, and will begin exploring new ways to promote the brand. The company hopes its new efforts will allow the company to be viewed as an overall performance company, which will ultimately enable it to compete with footwear from powerhouses Nike and Adidas, and will help increase its current 1.1 percent market share. To promote Under Armour's new brand image, the firm has launched large scale advertising in three different countries, making a minor change in the physical appearance of the ad by using a different actor from each country. This is an example of advertising.
a. international
b. global
c. cooperative
d. national
