Sportswear brand Under Armour struck gold when it agreed to provide the football uniforms for the film Any Given Sunday in 1999. The brand's founder Kevin Plank took a risk and spent $25,000 on an ad campaign based on the movie, launched in ESPN magazine shortly after its release. As a result the company went from sales of $1.3 million in 1999 to $5 million just one year later, and Plank was able to pay himself a salary for the first time since starting the company.
