Under Armour is a fascinating and dynamic brand and I had such fun researching the brand and developing recommendations for improving brand equity for this class.

Brand Audit for IMC 613: Brand Equity Management. Brand Audit reviews overall health of Plum Organic's brand image and includes recommendations on how to strengthen the brand moving forward.
In 2009, Crocs was in big trouble. After sales took off in the mid-2000s, it struggled to keep up with demand, reaching $847 million in revenue in 2007. When production finally caught up, it went overboard, ending up with mountains of shoes and no one to buy them just as the economic downturn hit. That made the company lose $185 million in 2008, which drew shareholder lawsuits and auditors who said Crocs might not be able to pay off its debts.
