Great to have a front row seat to the downfall of Tiger Woods. Arguably the greatest sports brand ever. He was like a robot. Nike invested heavily in him and created a golf brand directly tied to the hottest thing to ever swing a club. Tiger, literally, is/was money. If you wanted your communications to be associated with can’t miss success you put Tiger in your ads. He kicked ass AND he was squeaky clean. Perfect!
And now Tiger has been revealed to be a bit dirty. Happens all the time. But not to Tiger Woods. Quel Malheur! He is Tiger. He is perfect!
No he wasn’t. His image was perfect. Nobody saw this one coming. We were all fooled. Advertising works folks!
