Screen Shot 2014-05-19 at 9.37.46 am.jpgOgilvy & Mather New Zealand has created a new brand TVC for Rebel Sport directed by Aussie Joel Harmsworth from The Sweet Shop, featuring All Black hardman Brad Thorn.

 

Says Angus Hennah, Ogilvy executive creative director: “We wanted to celebrate the grassroots winter athlete. Our uncompromising approach to winter sports is something that has shaped us as individuals and as a nation. We wanted to focus less on gameplay and more on the emotion of playing sport not just against the opposition but also against the elements. Veteran All Black Brad Thorn was the perfect voice for the commercial. It grounds the poetic nature of the words with an authentic rawness.”
