Hasta La Creative!

Big marathons thrive on exclusivity and competition. That’s not where the Twin Cities Marathon makes its miles. So, we celebrated and welcomed all runners, and all the different reasons they run. Running community responses immediately flooded in.

Oakley® unveils a powerful remake of Bob Marley’s iconic anthem – One Love – as part of the brand’s 2020 For the Love of Sport Campaign. The official release aims to inspire hope and positivity during a time of uncertainty by celebrating sport, and how it can enlighten and uplift.

The reworked verses were co-written by Oakley Athletes including Diamond DeShields, Ryan Sheckler, Oksana Masters, Caroline Buchanan and Ítalo Ferreira. This reinterpretation evolves the classic song into a modern-day love story, amplified by an official music video that showcases a dynamic display of passion and determination as viewers follow athletes’ individual journeys and the way sport has impacted their lives and the people around them.

American-born, British-Jamaican singer-songwriter, Celeste, was selected to perform the song because of her ability to convey a message through her soulful-tones and her mantra to create meaningful music that can make a difference.

The campaign launches with new creative that humorously depicts how most Loyalty programs require months of purchasing to earn a small reward – like a few airline miles or a free sandwich or coffee – but this first-of-its-kind program provides the immediate loyalty of a furry best friend while also supporting the transition of shelter dogs into pets with loving forever homes. When a new pet parent adopts a dog and purchases two bags of PEDIGREE dog food (15 lbs. or more) from now through October 31, PEDIGREE will pay for the adoption fee (up to $200).

According to a recent national pet owners survey, 45% of people bring their dogs for at least two nights when they travel. But no one has looked at travel from a dog’s perspective. So in 2019 Visit North Carolina launched a search for the world’s first dog travel agent.
