shoe deal with the athletic equipment company Spalding

company’s first line of basketball sneakers

exposure for the sneaker and himself by staring in a campaign
 For Spalding, it is all about being first, innovative, and the best
at what they do, traits that describe both Jimmer in his
basketball career, as well as Kaskade within the music industry
 Kaskade would be an integral part of the campaign with his
innovative and award winning music as the background for
the advertisements, and as an opportunity for Spalding to use
the DJ to start and promote a causal footwear line as well

antioxidant, green tea catechins, and essential vitamins (naturally
occurring caffeine comes from the green tea extract, no extra
caffeine is added)
 FRS energy drinks work by naturally triggering your cells’ ability to
produce sustained energy, allowing you to focus on increasing your
stamina to maximize performance
 FRS Healthy Energy, Healthy Protein, Healthy Defense, & Healthy Slim
 Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area

Romero, and Christie Rampone

13. Potential Products: FRS Healthy Performance
 Why an FRS endorsement and marketing campaign would work:
 Elite athletes and musicians alike need to stay energized and hydrated in order to perform their
best on the court as well as in the DJ booth
 For individuals like Jimmer and Kaskade, FRS is the perfect healthy drink that would provide them
the sustained energy needed to stay focused on being the best that they can be, while abiding
by their religious beliefs
• For Jimmer, FRS is a great substitute to drinks such as Red Bull and Gatorade, which will
provide him the antioxidants needed to stay fresh and energized in the fourth quarter of an
NBA game
• FRS is a great substitute to alcoholic beverages and other carbonated , unhealthy energy
drinks for Kaskade, helping him stay focused and energized for his famous 12-hour DJ sets
 FRS has support from elite athletes such as Lance Armstrong and Tim Tebow, but has yet to tap into
the basketball or music markets
 Endorser Time Tebow shares the same type of outspoken dedication to his religious beliefs, as well
as the underdog mentality that Jimmer and Kaskade have
