Interesting article, but I do have a nit:

> Nike is shifting from "Just Do It" impulse messaging to long-term wellness partnerships

My read of "just do it" is actually the opposite. It's a message to dedicated athletes about not making excuses end executing.



In marketing world, many consider the slogan "Just Do It" to have a double meaning: 1) Don't make excuses, get after your goals! (the one you're espousing) 2) Treat yourself, just buy it (the one the articles author is emphasizing).


Just like YOLO can mean You Only Live Once (so make it count).
