In 1970, Nike had a new athletic shoe they planned to bring to market. At the last minute the product release was delayed. This meant their whole ad campaign for that month around this shoe was also delayed. What could they do to fill the pre-bought ad space at the last minute? According to Terri Langhans, a Certified Speaking Professional who wrote a blog post about this, Nike asked their ad company to come up with something that would “just pat runners on the back.” What the agency came up with completely shifted the company’s focus in advertising into the new millennium.

Or an extra memory chip for the camera so we can take lots of pictures of that up-and-coming young dog we are thinking of breeding to in the future. Those things are important, but there are other things that we may be inclined to forget or ignore that are even more important.
