Criteria Feedback
- You state a clear, time-bounded research question that keeps the investigation anchored to a defined company, product, market, and outcome.
- Your topic is communicated clearly and the overall business context is easy to follow.
- You use a relevant range of secondary sources and show awareness of why those sources were chosen.
- The title and research question are not fully aligned, which weakens the precision of the investigation’s focus.
- The essay sometimes moves beyond the stated U.S. 2023–2024 scope, which makes the discussion less tightly controlled.
- The method does not fully separate the effect of the endorsement from Adidas’s wider business performance.

Criteria Feedback
- You show clear understanding of endorsement strategy, brand equity, competitive positioning, and marketing mix ideas.
- You use terminology such as SWOT, BCG, Ansoff, and brand equity accurately in many places.
- You connect source material to the business context rather than simply quoting it without explanation.
- Some concepts are applied too confidently when the evidence only supports them indirectly.
- The discussion sometimes uses company-wide or market-wide indicators as if they directly prove the effect of the AE-1 launch.
- A few strategic classifications, especially around growth strategy and product positioning, need more careful justification.
