What interviewers actually evaluate

Positioning sharpness and measurement discipline

Nike hiring teams for Marketing look past polish to see whether you understand the Jordan brand, innovation-led product culture, the Nike Direct and Nike App DTC shift, athlete endorsements, Elliott Hill's wholesale rebalancing, and Move to Zero sustainability. The signals they weight most: audience definition, positioning, channel logic, measurement, and brand tradeoffs.
