Abstract

ASICS is a globally recognized sportswear brand renowned for its commitment to innovation and performance. This study examines ASICS' marketing strategy by analyzing its market positioning, promotional approaches, and competitive strategies. Utilizing a comprehensive research methodology, including case study analysis and strategic evaluation, the study explores ASICS' branding techniques, sponsorship initiatives, and digital marketing efforts. The findings indicate that ASICS’ strong focus on technological advancements and athlete endorsements has significantly contributed to its global success. In addition, ASICS has gained significant attention and built strong customer loyalty through its long-term sponsorship of marathon events. However, challenges such as limited influence in the athleisure market and intense competition from industry giants remain obstacles to further expansion. The study concludes that ASICS must enhance its digital marketing, expand into the lifestyle footwear segment, and capitalize on emerging markets to maintain its competitive edge. These insights provide valuable recommendations for ASICS and other sportswear brands aiming to refine their marketing strategies in a dynamic industry landscape.
