Kanika Mittal became the Marketing Head of Reebok India at the definitive moment when the brand positioned itself as a fitness brand and moved away from its strong sports heritage. With a healthy repositioning challenge ahead of her, she undertook her role with a single minded approach to innovate and introduce fresh ideas in every aspect of business and deliver success on key marketing and related business KPIs. Her leadership also led to clutter breaking Media, Retail, Events, OOH concepts with PR & Digital playing a key role in orchestrating the reach and engagement quotient of various marketing programs. She played a key role in the appointment of the ‘Queen’ of Bollywood Kangana Ranaut as the brand ambassador of Reebok and the successful launch of ‘Be More Human’ campaign this year.

Reebok was the only fitness brand in the country that collaborated with The Ministry of AYUSH on the occasion of International Day of Yoga this year and left no stone unturned in reaching out to the yoga and fitness enthusiasts around the country, thereby attaining prominent exposure across key portals. In addition to positioning Reebok as the go-to fitness brand, Kanika has also been driving Reebok’s growth in the lifestyle space. Her latest campaign around the new Reebok Skyscape range has been creating a buzz on digital media. While brand ambassador Kangana Ranaut’s ultra-sexy image in a towel and the stylish Skyscape shoe has been posted by leading lifestyle magazines, renowned stylists and fashion bloggers have been seen endorsing the chic shoe on their social media handles.
