  • Resolution

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

  • Who is the brand?
  • Who is their audience?
  • What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

The brand: Nike

 

The audience: People who play a specific sport or are interested in participating in one. Also, people who want to engage more in fitness.

 

The challenge: Too many people remain inactive due to their lifestyle choices, environmental circumstances, or simply health choices. They want to reinvent themselves into active and more athletic versions of themselves.

 

The resolution: They create inspiring headlines from aspiring sportspersons and fitness influencers that resonate with them by showing similarities between the audience and the people they aspire to be. They display how something impossible is achievable through hard work and determination to the audience looking for change through storytelling and branding.

Enabl Life is an Indian atleisure brand. They founded the company to enable those who love to work out, do so in comfort. Why? Because the company's founder realised that atleisure is a packed market with so many brands just driving comfort in name and the products don't necessarily provide the same. 

With that in mind, they mapped the audience to be Gen Z trendsetters who love to play paddle and pickleball and prefer these over going out and partying. Their audience has the spending power and also, the need to be doing everything in comfortable clothing that fits the vibe for their gram posts. 

With performance marketing using the correct influencers who appeal to the Gen z mindset, they are helping their audience buy comfortable clothing at an affordable price point and also just via a few scrolls on Instagram where they are already doomscrolling most of the time.

Brand: Grammarly

 

Audience: Students, professionals, writers/content creators, ESL learners, and any individual seeking writing help.

 

Challenges they are helping their audience overcome: Communicating clearly, confidently, and effectively.

How they are doing it:

  • Real-Time Writing Assistance: Uses AI to highlight mistakes and suggest grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure improvements as users type.
  • Tone and Clarity Detection: Analyzes tone (e.g., confident, formal, friendly) and suggests changes to match the context (like softening a sentence in an email).
  • Personalization and Goals: Let users set goals for tone, audience, formality, and intent so feedback is customized.
  • Cross-Platform Integration: Integrates with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, email clients, web browsers, and mobile devices so users get help wherever they write.
  • Educational Feedback: Offers explanations for corrections, helping users grow their skills over time.
  • Plagiarism Detection: Scans text against billions of web pages and academic sources.
  • Business Features: Allows businesses to create shared style guides and offer analytics on team writing trends.
