Ogilvy and its client partners Dove and Verizon are proud to have worked together to bring sizable impact to the creativity spotlight that is the Super Bowl.
Dove returns to the Super Bowl with their #KeepHerConfident platform, based on findings that nearly half of girls who drop out of sports are criticized for their body type. This year, the brand created "These Legs", a 30-second spot that spotlights a 3-year-old girl running happily and confidently down the street. The spot is aptly soundtracked by the iconic Bruce Springsteen tune “Born to Run”, re-imagined by Grammy-winning artist H.E.R. The spot and the inspired song choice and arrangement see Dove urging us to encourage girls’ ongoing joy and confidence and foster their unbridled energy and love for the game.
This year at the Super Bowl has seen a growing trend around experiential, and no brand went bigger on experiential than Verizon.
We worked with Verizon to bring the Super Bowl experience to every NFL market across the country, giving the many fans who don't have the opportunity actually go to the Super Bowl an unforgettable football experience with Verizon FanFest — a first-of-its-kind, nationwide celebration taking place simultaneously in select cities at their respective NFL stadiums.
To launch and sustain excitement around this massive event series, we developed a robust integrated PR & Social strategy, working alongside NFL legends to create a unique promo for the campaign via an Instagram group chat, as well as collaborating with FanFest Ambassador Eli Manning for segment on the Today Show.
“Over 100,000 fans have signed up to attend Verizon’s FanFest and our job was to keep them entertained and engaged throughout the journey, from ticket signup to game day," ECD PR, Social, Influence in North America Cha Spruce said. "We leaned on NFL legends to create a sense of fomo and we will aim to dominate the pregame conversation on Super Bowl Sunday with a UGC driven content plan live from 30 stadiums at once.”
Ogilvy is thrilled to have brought its Borderless Creativity to bear on behalf of two of its valued client partners, with both campaigns bringing together experts across Advertising, PR, Social and Influence to drive real impact.
