Example:
Nike is named after a woman - the Greek goddess of victory - but for most of its
history, the company had been perceived as being mostly about men. That was the huge
question at Nike HQ. The launch of Nike Goddess was the makings of an answer. Hoke
designed the look and feel of the first Nike Goddess store. Then Grossman, whose career has
included helping make Ralph Lauren into a retail icon, pitched the design ideas to Nike's top
retailers as stores within stores. "How to Talk to Women When Jackie Thomas, Nike's US
brand marketing director for women, first heard the phrase 'Nike goddess, 'she wasn't
impressed. 1 don't like talking to women through gender,' she says. Nike Goddess had to
mean something to women and it was her job to make that happen.
