Diese Frage wird PUMAs neuem CEO Arthur Hoeld in diesen Tagen h\u00e4ufig gestellt. Und das ist keine \u00dcberraschung. Als er im Juli dieses Jahres zu PUMA kam, hatte PUMA gerade eine globale Markenkampagne gestartet, um die Attraktivit\u00e4t der Marke bei den Verbrauchern zu erh\u00f6hen - eine Ma\u00dfnahme, die PUMA \"Brand Elevation\" nennt.<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_default firstLetter\" >Arthur war \u00fcberzeugt: Die Ziele, PUMAs Ansehen bei den Verbrauchern zu verbessern, waren richtig, aber seine langj\u00e4hrige Erfahrung in der Branche hatte ihn gelehrt, dass das Rezept nicht funktionieren w\u00fcrde.<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumns spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div >\u201cWir werden mit dieser Strategie nicht weitermachen, weil sie einfach nicht zu Ergebnissen gef\u00fchrt hat. Das ist im Moment sehr offensichtlich\u201d, sagte Arthur bei einer internen Veranstaltung. \u201cNat\u00fcrlich wollen wir die Marke PUMA aufwerten. Wir sorgen daf\u00fcr, dass die Marke begehrenswerter und weniger kommerziell wird und die Zukunft ges\u00fcnder und profitabler ist. Aber wir brauchen einen ganz anderen Ansatz.\u201d \u00a0<br><br>Arthur ist davon \u00fcberzeugt, dass PUMAs Produktikonen wie das Suede und Leistungsinnovationen wie die bahnbrechende Lauftechnologie NITRO der Schl\u00fcssel zum Erfolg sind. <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div >PUMA wird sich erneut auf seine Sport-DNA konzentrieren und sicherstellen, dass jedes Produkt beim Sport getragen werden kann und die Leistung der Athleten verbessert. Der 55-j\u00e4hrige Veteran der Sportbranche stellt das Unternehmen neu auf, um sicherzustellen, dass sich diese Produkte und ihre Geschichten gegen die harte Konkurrenz durchsetzen k\u00f6nnen. Er wird \u00e4ndern, wie, wo und wann Produkte verkauft werden und welche Geschichten den Verbrauchern im Ged\u00e4chtnis bleiben werden. Noch wichtiger ist, dass alle wichtigen Produkt- und Markengeschichten in jedem einzelnen Land der Welt gleich sein m\u00fcssen. Arthur nennt das, eine einzige globale Sportmarke zu werden. Mit lokalen Erweiterungen, um auf lokale Unterschiede und M\u00f6glichkeiten einzugehen.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Wide;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Puma_Bilanz-PK-Q3_2025_images__0367_low-res.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row two columns -->\n<div class=\"row rowTwoColumns spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div >\u201cUm das Unternehmen neu aufzustellen, muss PUMA eine globale Sportmarke werden, die eine klare Vorstellung von ihrer Identit\u00e4t und ihrem Produktportfolio hat. Wir m\u00fcssen ansprechende und faszinierende Produktgeschichten erz\u00e4hlen, um unsere Produktikonen wie den Suede, den Palermo oder den GV Special sowie unsere branchenf\u00fchrenden Innovationen wie unsere Lauftechnologie NITRO\u2122 besser zu etablieren\u201d, sagte Arthur. \u201cIch m\u00f6chte, dass Menschen auf der ganzen Welt begeistert sind, PUMA zu tragen und von den Produktgeschichten, die wir erz\u00e4hlen.\u201d \u00a0<br><br>Die Aufmerksamkeit f\u00fcr das Produkt ist unerbittlich. Arthur hat die Prozesse des Unternehmens ge\u00e4ndert, um Produkt- und Markenmarketing nebeneinander zu stellen und so st\u00e4rkere Produktgeschichten zu erz\u00e4hlen. Um bessere Entscheidungen dar\u00fcber treffen zu k\u00f6nnen, wann, wo und in welchen Mengen Produkte eingef\u00fchrt werden, wurde Go-to-Market ebenfalls Teil dieser neuen Struktur unter der Leitung von Chief Brand Officer Maria Valdes. PUMA wird die Anzahl seiner Produkte pro Jahr drastisch reduzieren, um sich noch st\u00e4rker auf die wirklich wichtigen Ikonen zu konzentrieren.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div >Diese Ver\u00e4nderung bedeutet auch, dass wir sehr viel selektiver vorgehen, wo PUMA-Produkte verkauft werden. \u201cPUMA ist zu oft in den falschen Kan\u00e4len aufgetaucht, mit zu vielen Werbeaktionen und hohen Lagerbest\u00e4nden\u201d, sagte Arthur. \u201cWir m\u00fcssen daf\u00fcr sorgen, dass die Marke begehrenswerter und weniger kommerziell wird\u201d.\u201d<br><br>Arthur sagt, er sehe klare Chancen in PUMAs eigenen Gesch\u00e4ften und E-Commerce-Plattformen. W\u00e4hrend der Gro\u00dfhandel ein wichtiger Teil des Gesch\u00e4fts bleiben wird, m\u00f6chte er das Ungleichgewicht zwischen den beiden Vertriebskan\u00e4len angehen.
