Finish Line Amplifies Commitment to Female Consumer

Retailer drives #WeAreMore ethos in latest campaign featuring Reebok,
Aly Raisman

INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$FINL #WeAreMore–Athletic retailer The Finish Line, Inc. (NASDAQ: FINL) bolsters its
female-specific brand experience, #WeAreMore, through an exclusive
collaboration with Reebok and brand athlete Aly Raisman, set to launch
October 11. The campaign, which includes exclusive imagery and video
content, coincides with the retailer’s launch of a new #WeAreMore
YouTube channel
and personalized women’s homepage
– its latest efforts to drive engagement with the female consumer.

“We’ve always served our girl,” said Alyssa Smith, vice president and
division merchandise manager for accessories, women’s and kid’s footwear
and apparel at Finish Line. “Now we’re building on that foundation, in
partnership with our brands, to showcase ‘her’ versatility – she is much
more than what meets the eye – while offering inspiration for her unique
competitive style.” Smith added, “Aly truly exemplifies ‘competitive
style’ which makes her a great ambassador for telling the greater
#WeAreMore story.”

Raisman is the latest celebrity influencer the retailer has partnered
with to showcase #WeAreMore. On September 13, the gymnast took over the
Finish Line Women Snapchat account while in New York City to offer
followers a sneak peek of the photo shoot which produced the retailer’s
highest engaging female content to date.

“Finish Line’s #WeAreMore is more than a campaign – it’s a commitment to
the female consumer with a renewed focus on bringing the most relevant
brand experience to her through a curated selection of the latest and
greatest women’s product on the market in colorways and silhouettes she
wants,” added Smith.

The #WeAreMore experience is centered on three key pillars: versatility,
community and inspiration. With a philosophy of breaking down the
stereotypes, the retailer is launching a new personalized homepage for
women with content populated by individual style posts from consumers
who tag #WeAreMore.

In addition to dedicated online spaces to share experiences, find
inspiration and be a part of the brand community, Finish Line has been
sprinkling #WeAreMore Stylists within its fleet and hosting special
in-store events in select markets targeting its female Winner’s Circle
loyalty program members.
