PUMA - one of the oldest sports brand, and its history - a perfect example of how brand-loser under the right marketing steps can become a trendy brand.

PUMA history began in 1948 when Rudolf Dassler split from the family business and started his own company. Its main competitor was the brother of Adolf, later founded ADIDAS. For many years the company has worked exclusively for athletes. This brand preferred and actively touted its footballers Pele, Eusebio, Maradona, Becker and Navratilova tennis and many other great athletes.

However, by the early '90s PUMA found herself on the verge of bankruptcy. Marketing and brand management in the company were far on the sidelines. Consumers said Mark imitative and featureless.

PUMA was the architect of the revival of the 40-year-old CEO Jochen Seitz. He speaks six languages, lead plane loves hunting and surrounded himself with managers of 20 - 30 years. Updated PUMA collaborates with fashion designers and produces limited editions. The focus has shifted from the sport in general, to the clothes to his particular species and an active lifestyle.

The new management has set a new goal - to make the most creative brand PUMA and desirable. The main element in the revival was the decision to develop footwear and clothing aimed at narrow segments, such as, for example, snowboarders, racing fans and followers of yoga. PUMA was the first among sports companies began to develop cooperation with renowned designers of clothing, shoes and accessories.

In just a few years it has become a trendy PUMA brand, which has the same success as a professional outfit and youth LifeStyle.

PUMA now doing everything to be different from other brands associated with sport, and above all - the approach to the formation of collections.
