# Workout-Advertising Robots Nike's Billboard is Supported by a Robot Constantly Doing Chin-Ups By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-06-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chin-ups References: [creativecriminals](http://creativecriminals.com/nike/chin-ups) & [nike](http://www.nike.com/ca/en_ca/) In order to support a [sporty billboard in the city](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweaty-betty-all-good-in-the-hood), [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/why-do-it-ad) created a window where a robot mannequin was continually performing chin-ups. The billboard advertised that "Your only competition is you, and also other people, like her." Although the thought of the training required to compete with a mannequin is daunting, this is a clever way to show that you too can perform like a machine. While the billboard could have stood on its own, acknowledging that you are only standing in your own way, the inclusion of the [machine performing push-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pushups) inspires people to get to the same level of incredible fitness. It's one thing to tell people to get active, but it's another thing to get people to put it into practice and have them believe they will be #BetterForIt, as Nike encourages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Advertising:** Using interactive elements in advertisements can engage consumers and leave a lasting impression. - **Experiential Marketing:** Creating unique and memorable experiences through marketing initiatives can generate buzz and brand loyalty. - **Fitness Motivation:** Incorporating fitness-related messaging and visuals can inspire and motivate individuals to pursue an active lifestyle. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Innovative approaches like workout-advertising robots can revolutionize the advertising industry and capture consumers' attention. - **Fitness:** Fitness brands can leverage interactive marketing tactics to inspire and engage their target audience, encouraging them to embrace a healthy lifestyle. - **Sports Apparel:** By incorporating unique and immersive advertising techniques, sports apparel companies can differentiate themselves and connect with fitness enthusiasts on a deeper level. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Athletic Apparel Interactive Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoplift-campaign.md) - [Ultra-Heavy Billboard Activations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-heaviest-billboard.md) - [Modernized Tech-Driven Fitness Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-progress.md) - [Hyper-Local Gym Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-london-life.md) - [Personalized Rowing Companions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergatta-rowbot.md) - [Next-Gen Athlete-Starring Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/why-do-it-ad.md) - [Otherworldly Fashion Brand Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-mars-billboard.md) - [Regular Exercise-Encouraging Brand Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-missed-workouts.md) - [Inclusive AI Trainings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-ai.md)
