A revamp of the Nike Reuse-A-Shoe Web site http://www.nikereuseashoe.com was
completed and strategic messaging was created. The new site was optimized for
natural search to ensure high rankings for consumers looking for information,
but who do not associate shoe recycling with Nike. A social media listening
campaign was launched to fine tune messaging and ensure people think and talk
about the program accurately. Outposts were created for conversations happening
outside the site using social media tactics and listening for where discussions
occur. An email marketing program was also created to foster ongoing
conversation, including triggered email based on consumer actions.
