你喜歡Adidas公司在2005年推出、並且沿用至今的「Impossible is Nothing」這句標語嗎?知道它背後的一整套文案和理念嗎?
事實上,這整套文案並不只「Impossible is Nothing」這個短句而已;依照行銷活動的慣例,前面還有一整個段落鋪陳:
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.
其實,「Impossible is Nothing」在字面上最優秀的一點,就是「豪氣」。即使不去深究「Impossible」這個字、或是整句話的要表達的意思,「dangerous is nothing」或「he is nothing but a fool」之類帶點輕視意味的說法,就已經傳達了行銷意象的主軸。
