EP-213 Nike’s 2 Hour Marathon Attempt Falls Short But Still Wins

Nike’s attempt to break the 2-hour marathon fell just short, as Eliud Kipchoge finished at 2:00:25 (which is a 4:35.5 mile.) Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman said, “The real purpose of running isn’t to win a race, it’s to test the limits of the human heart.”Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about Nike’s entire campaign surrounding their attempt to break the 2-hour marathon barrier. As impressive as this feat was, what real impact will this have on the running community? Was this campaign only targeting the elite runners or is there a trickle down effect to the more general running community? As part of their content creation efforts, what did W+K do to try and tell this story? Is this the end of the 2-hour marathon story or just the beginning?In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.
