Adidas looks to harness Instagram, Snapchat fans
Global brands director is keen to ensure firm's products and partnerships will help sustain its recent turnaround

Mr Liedtke, who lost out to former Henkel AG leader Kasper Rorsted in a race to succeed chief executive officer Herbert Hainer, is now turning his attention to a different battle as he seeks to make it easier for Instagram and Snapchat followers to buy popular sneaker styles.
