AI Acknowledgment
This assignment was completed with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, OpenAI) to support ideation, structure, visual concepting, and refinement of written content. All final materials were reviewed, edited, and adapted to reflect original analysis and alignment with course objectives.
The following prompts were used in the development of this work:
- “Review and refine a SWOT analysis for Foot Locker, including rationale and strategic insights tied to a creative brief.”
- “Develop strategic recommendations with rationale and measurable KPIs based on SWOT findings.”
- “Refine tone, clarity, and strategic alignment across marketing and communications materials.”
- “Create a mockup of a Foot Locker-branded experiential truck activation at the FIFA World Cup, featuring a dark, edgy, fashion-forward design with a matte black base, bold graphic overlays, LED lighting, DJ booth, sneaker displays, and the taglines ‘The Locker’ and ‘Don’t Watch Culture. Be It.’ Generate variations of this truck in multiple colorways while maintaining a consistent immersive streetwear aesthetic.”
All outputs generated by AI were critically evaluated and revised to ensure accuracy, originality, and consistency with the intended brand voice.
