Gatorade Give Viewers A Gentle Reminder
Despite not being an official sponsor of the London 2012 Olympic Games, Gatorade kindly reminds us all that they were firmly involved in the event with this spot from TBWA/Chiat/Day.
The restrictions placed on athletes promoting any non-sponsors of the games have now been lifted by LOCOG and the brand has taken full advantage. Triple gold medallist, Usain Bolt, is the protagonist of the ad, while a narrator reminds the viewer that Gatorade was ‘inside’ the world’s best athletes, powering them to greatness.
