See the Spot: Gillette and Grey Show Gritty Side of Olympics Prep
Posted in: Uncategorized
Think about “The Best a Man Can Get” and you don’t envision a guy hugging the porcelain goddess. But while ads featuring Olympic athletes usually show the glory, Gillette’s anthem video for the Summer Olympics breaking today instead focuses on the gritty, including what appears to be the first razor advertising that shows a guy throwing up.
That’s part of the hard work Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao puts into practice. And the online video breaking today from WPP’s Grey in similar fashion shows British cyclist Andy Tennant in a spectacular crash and USA decathlete Ashton Eaton chased by a very mean-looking dog on a run.
The three-minute “Perfect Isn’t Pretty” music video also will appear in a 60-second edit during the opening ceremonies for the Rio Olympic Games on NBC Aug. 5. The spot will feature Sia’s “Unstoppable” in a new mix from Grammy-winning producer Ariel Rechshaid that also includes an original rap from Pusha T of the duo Clipse and percussion from Brazilian marching band Olodum.
