Bauer was sold by Nike and with that lost the marketing power of the swoosh. We leveraged the heritage and strength of the Bauer brand and connected directly to the people who brought them to the industry leading position - the players. We celebrated the brand authenticity and superior products through social networks, in arena placement and one-to-one communication with the kids on the ice and let them take it from there. The result - Bauer became stronger, more profitable and the most talked about brand in hockey.
