Providence-based Nail has unveiled a new spot for Lifespan entitled “15,000.”

That number refers to the approximate count of employees at Lifespan, who, according to the 60 second spot, “have the best job in the world…delivering health with care.” The spot begins by attempting to make viewers consider everyday life in a different light, as a narrator intones things like “Every day, joy and heartbreak wash across us with equally unpredictable force” while a violin plays a melancholy melody in the background. About the time when you’re wondering what exactly this is an ad for, the “best job in the world” line comes in, followed by shots of Lifespan workers with name tags and ending with the “delivering health with care” tagline.  “15,000″ will begin airing tonight during the opening of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and marks the beginning of Nail’s first branding campaign.

Dos Equis is launching a new ad during tonight’s opening ceremonies called “Bobsled” that was specifically created to run during the games. But while the ad includes scenes of Olympic sports like hockey and skiing, the word “Olympics” is not used, and the athletes are actors.

BBDO has just released a new Olympics spot for Visa featuring U.S. Olympic Freeskier Torin Yater-Wallace.

The 45 second spot, “Nightswim,” follows Torin on one of his night runs through “an ocean of snow,” where “it’s only [him] and the mountain.” Torin explains that he skis at night because the days just aren’t long enough, and he can engage his passion in private at night, without the pressures and distractions he faces during the day. The spot closes with Morgan Freeman‘s narration that Visa has been “supporting Olympic athletes for over 25 years.”

Like a lot of the Olympic advertising we’ve been seeing, “Nightswim” is pretty straightforward, allowing the athlete involved and the idea of Olympic sponsorship to speak for itself. The most unusual thing about the spot would have to be the nighttime setting, which allows for some interesting visuals, but also some moments where it’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on. Credits after the jump.

Fred Bear and Bearlesque, the U.K.’s premier boylesque troupe, get weird for broadcaster Channel 4, with “Gay Mountain,” a song-and-dance sequence complete with a light-bulb rainbow. The campy performance celebrates the gays who will be skiing and luging in Sochi during this year’s Winter Olympics.

Channel 4, which has broadcast rights for the Winter Paralympics, broadcast a “Dispatches” investigation earlier this week on gangs in Russia that target gay men and women.

Created out of the broadcaster’s in-house agency 4Creative, the film is just the latest in advertisers’ and agencies’ creative efforts to protest against Russian anti-gay laws. Google this week posted a rainbow-colored logo, for example, above anti-discrimination lines from the Olympic Charter. For Christmas last year, agency Mother in the U.K. sent a set of Russian nesting dolls modeled after famous Gay British icons to the Kremlin and the Russian Embassy in London.
