Gatorade took a new turn in its branding strategy last year by renaming itself “G.” Its latest offering is a line of performance drinks called “The G Series.” A set of 3 drinks aims to help athletes perform their best – 01 Prime is meant provides a boost of energy before activity, 02 Perform is the Gatorade Thirst Quencher taken during movement, and 03 Recover helps athletes rehydrate and aids muscle recovery after exercise.
Joachim Ladefoged worked with TBWA\Chiat\Day to photograph the print campaign. The first round of advertisements released include three-time Olympic gold medalist and record-setting sprinter Usain Bolt, NBA all-star player Dwight Howard, and NFL quarterback and 4-time MVP Peyton Manning. The black and white images of the elite athletes shows them imbibing the performance drink while training and competing.
Says Art Producer Debra Rosen, “Working with Joachim was an unbelievable experience. We had very little time with the athletes and Joachim still managed to capture beautiful, poignant imagery in every single shot. His positive attitude makes him a joy to work with and his incredible talent makes for flawless artwork.”

The FIFA World Cup kicks off in less than a week. The 3D Agency, formerly known as Candylab, adds to the World Cup excitement by creating heroic sculptures of the 12 most popular football stars for Nike’s “Write the Future” campaign. Anatomically correct models were built in CG and then transformed into life-sized sculptures that are displayed prominently in Nike Town stores around the world. The CG football players are also featured in Nike print advertising campaigns.
Director/Producer John Moffett explains, “It was a real challenge to get all the players created within the time frame as well as making sure that they were ready to be shipped out as assets to agency’s world wide. Seeing them as real life sculpts in the Nike Town Oxford circus has given everyone involved a real sense of achievement.”

Thornberg & Forester designed and animated a motion billboard for Disney’s Mary PoppinsBroadway musical, working with agency Serino Coyne. The simple yet bold design on 47th street and Broadway stands out among the maze of flashing lights in Times Square.
Chief Creative Office of Serino Coyne Sandy Block says, “In what is the most advertising-inundated location in the world, how better to evoke the larger-than-life magic of Disney’s MARY POPPINS than with the biggest sign you could possibly imagine: a 230-foot high by 80-foot wide, 12-screen, digital display with 15,000 square-feet of LED power. Now, put that in front of 100,000 visitors every day at the epicenter of the most popular New York City hub, and you’ve got yourself the perfect match-up of show and signage.”
