About the Work
adidas came to the agency in January (yes January!) 2023 with a challenge: could we be on air in time for the Super Bowl? We quickly concepted and produced a timely, relevant campaign building from adidas’ long-standing brand idea, Impossible Is Nothing.
The campaign reminds us that before you become an elite, Super Bowl and three-time MVP-winning athlete like Patrick Mahomes, we all start from the same humble beginning. As newborns there’s nothing we can do. Everything is impossible. The rest of our lives are spent proving that nothing is. Impossible is nothing.
The film launched on Super Bowl Sunday, and since then has almost 100 million views on Instagram.
