excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

One of the world's most iconic brands

Nike is a prominent player in the sports and athletic apparel industry. With a global presence and a strong brand identity, Nike offers a broad range of products including footwear, apparel, and accessories. Nike's business encompasses design, development, marketing, and distribution of its products through various channels, including its own stores, online platforms, and partnerships. With a commitment to providing the best possible equipment for both athletes and everyday people, Nike has been able to grow from a small Oregonian outfit to one of the leading brands in the broader fitness industry.

A clear vision

Nike, founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, traces its roots to the partnership between Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman. Phil Knight, a track athlete at the University of Oregon, recognized the business potential in importing low-cost, high-quality running shoes from Japan. With a shared passion for sports and a vision for creating innovative athletic footwear, Knight and Bowerman formed a strong partnership. The name was changed to Nike, inspired by the Greek goddess of victory, in 1971. Nike has grown from a small outfit to a global powerhouse largely due to its focus on innovation, design, and marketing, but also thanks to the brand's ability to produce products that both athletes and private individuals love.

One of the worlds most recognizable brands

Nike, with its iconic Swoosh logo, has achieved a remarkable level of global brand recognition. The Swoosh, designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971, has grown to become an instantly recognizable symbol for the brand. Through consistent and strategic brand positioning, Nike has become one of the world's most recognizable brands thanks to the distinctive look of their logo in conjunction with quality products, marketing campaigns, and partnerships with top athletes.
