The main phrase used in the video is that the gym is everywhere. In this different men and women are lifting heavy weights not in the gym but at different locations.

Reebok is doing well on YouTube as compared to Asics

 Asics Vs Reebok on Pinterest

In this it seemed that Reebok is active on Pinterest. They have 441 pins and 7.3k followers. On the other hand Asics seems to be very active on Pinterest, they includes large number of pins that is 3141 and 8.5k followers.

Asics pins usually includes the healthy tips to remain fit. Healthy living, ways to reduce stress, benefits of yoga, running etc. Asics has included the description as ‘Performance athletic products created for a Sound Mind in a Sound Body’ which I liked the most. The best pin of Asics is the ‘10 ways to reduce the stress’ This is related to the mental relief and how we can begin our healthy like. Keywords used in this are healthy, relief, fitness. Also info graphics are used in this pin. This pin has the likes of 792 and 5.2k people has pinned this.

Reebok has very less number of pins and likes too as they are not so active. Their pins are related to the exercises that includes flexibility and the many pins related to the trending shoes rather than just running. they are also using the baseball player to promote their brand. Description they are using is also very attractive that is ‘Inspiring the fitness generation to move, to train, to get fit.’  The keywords they have used are train, fit. The pin I liked the most is the workout classes because in that pin they written an effective line that is ‘ get a beach body with these effective workouts’ which is helpful as summers are near.

In this Asics are doing much better as Reebok is not active.

ASICS AND REEBOK ON TWITTER

Both Asics and Reebok are doing well on twitter too. 2-3 tweets are seen almost each day on their twitter. Asics includes many tweets for fitness training, running, and workout.50/50v rule was seen less in these companies. Their post includes the posts related to industry as well as well as fitness. Their content mostly includes pictures of the athletes. The thing which I observed and I like the most is that they are using women models for their promotion which also acts an advantage to the company. They have also tweeted some videos related to fitness activities. The tweet which I liked the most is the picture of the lady running hurdles. This post has the 24 retweets which is maximum in their last 25 posts. The tagline they used is also very attractive that includes ‘The intensity required for hurdles, on and off the tracks’ and they have also used hashtag ‘track and field’

On the other hand Reebok is more active on twitter and their content includes infographics, links of videos for the fitness training, cardio exercises and online classes by the famous coaches that includes Katrin Tanja. The post which I liked is the picture of the pumping shoes which is very helpful in cardio exercises and running. The post has 17 retweets and 68 likes. The tagline they have used is ‘the pair used for the dance and cardio’ which is very effective

From my opinion Reebok is doing well on twitter as compared to Asics.

ASICS VS REEBOK ON FACEBOOK

It’s hard to compare between these two brands they are very active on Facebook. On average Asics and Reebok both posts almost every day. Asics has recently shared photos to promote the event called Barcelona Marathon. Their content includes video, photos, and info graphics. Yes they use are using the 50/50 rule but very less number of times. Keywords they are using are fitness training, running. The post I like the most are the photo they have posted which is telling that the ‘introducing the women’s line 2016’ and using the attractive line ‘together we make a winning combination’.  This post has got likes of 1.5k and 38 shares. I like this because in this they are promoting the women for weight lifting. This is the photo used for the promotion.

On the contrary, Reebok is also doing well in sharing the post. They are also using the 50/50 rule. They are posting more photos, blogs but less videos. However the likes on their posts are also very less. Their post which I like is the picture of the women lifting the heavy weight. They posted this to promote the the ‘2016 Affiliate Open Tour’ which is also sponsored by Reebok. Asics is doing well on Facebook as compared to Reebok.

From my opinion these posts are successful because Asics are promoting women for their promotion. And on the other side Reebok is promoting the athlete tour using the picture of the women.

For this company as well, we can see that Instagram is the best way to promote this brand. As we can see in the picture, on Instagram, Fila Company have posted 1464 posts and 88.9K followers. From the rest of the social media channels, instagram have the largest number of followers and most of the people are getting information about the products of fila on instagram. The Fila Company post about thier product after a small period of time to tell people about the quality and about different kinds of products of Fila. So, people are already having knowledge about the products and they alrady know the advantages as well as  disadvantages of the products. This make people as well as company aware so that there is no loss of the company.

Conclusion:

At last, Fila should try to get more attention of the people by promoting their brand products on more social sites rather than instagram. They must use other social media chanells but instagram is also playing a major role in promoting their product.
