Nick Cragg
Senior vice-president of brand, Europe
Adidas
Under Nick Cragg, Adidas’s marketing has been as agile and determined as one of its athlete partners. It sponsored London 2012 and has embraced social media and the opportunities for real-time marketing. Triumphs include the iconic tweet/ad after Andy Murray won BBC Sports Personality of the Year (“Not bad for a man with no personality”) and tweeting a picture of Great Britain’s first 2014 Sochi Olympics medal winner Jenny Jones with the caption “history maker”.
Biggest challenge: "To stay ahead of the pack in creative, real time use of digital marketing tools and platforms."
