I saw a new Nike ad Sunday night on the Simpsons. Some of the faces that I recognized: Strutzel, Cullem,Lunn,Delong.
I can't put names to the faces of the others, but I've seen them run. I think that most were athletes and not actors.
Keep it up Nike.
That ad kicked ass. I was shocked to see it during the Simpsons. I wonder what Nike thinks their return on investment will be?
I don't know who their ad agency is, but they do a fantastic job. I don't like their shoes or clothing, but I do like their ads.
Who were the women in the ad?
Nikes ad agency, should know this: Wieden and Kennedy.
There are some Nike Farm team women in the ad also.
Yeah, that ad was almost as awesome as the show. How can the Simpsons still be funny after so many years?? Beats me.
It was good to see REAL runners and not actors. It even sounded like real runners and not something out of a sound studio.
There was models also in the commercial.
I think that the same ad was on Monday Night Football. I saw some of the same guys.
mmmmm... donuts
Refresh my memory. I think I saw the ad but don't remember the details.
It is not on http://www.ad.com yet...they are about a month behind in commercials.
Woops, I meant http://www.ads.com
The ad featured a group of Farm Teamers and a group of models from LA. The Farm Teamers were in the back of the pack for the most part.
Sounds fascinating.
Adcritic.com may have the ad on their site, but you have to be a subscriber to view it. The ad features a "herd" of runners sprinting across the landscape like horses or buffalo. No music or words, just the sound of thundering footsteps. Very cool.
W+K was the most awarded agency for 2002:

(you can see the Nike "tag" and "shade runner" commercials here)
The commercial during The Simpsons is called "Made To Move."
