11. Fast Food industry in numbersSingle Customer View Strategy
Under Armour leverages data coming from its digitally connected community of
to connect at personal level, create new experiences, and develop new products
195 MILLION USERS
Personalizing Customer Experiences Engaging Consumers Locally Innovative, Compelling Products
Under Armour uses the data it collects in the
MyFitnessPal app to drive consumers to buy
certain products.
The retailer has info about when and where
certain activities happen.
This helps Under Armour’s wholesale partners
gear marketing to people while they’re doing a
certain activity.
By tracking the activities women were doing
who bought sports bras, Under Armour was
able to determine that the consumer was
resonating with the product, but the functional
application of the “high impact” sports bra
wasn’t applicable.
The end goal is to personalize every digital
interaction anywhere in the world.

Under Armour is now a “math house,” meaning everyone in the
company uses data to inform every decision that’s made.
