PUMA Launches the Nature of Performance
Global sportlifestyle brand PUMA has introduced a new cross-category performance platform – The Nature of Performance.
It underpins a new creative and marketing campaign, in addition to serving as the inspiration for a collection of new products in the Football, Running, Training and Fitness categories.
PUMA’s Nature of Performance platform is a red thread that unifies all of PUMA’s performance categories with a consistent voice, look and feel, says the company.
