HartSerena-Nike

Nike uses athlete Serena Williams and comedian/actor Kevin Hart in their latest promotional video on Twitter. Many of the videos Nike posts are serious, about maintaining your drive and pushing to work harder, but this recent video was lighthearted and funny. They take a break from their serious tone to focus on making people laugh, building a connection between healthy and happy. This video was successful because it shows that working out can be fun. It is not all about sore muscles and competition. In this video, Nike promoted their newest app, Nike Training Club. Kevin Hart acts as a trainer for Serena Williams, while incorporating some comic relief. The purpose of this short video was to show that Nike Training Club is fun to use. They were successful in engaging with customers while creating a happy feeling. This video received 264 re-tweets and 870 likes, as well as sparking conversation among Twitter followers. This post also links the video to Serena Williams and Kevin Hart's Twitter pages, bringing their followers to engage with Nike as well.
