The good people at Adidas are really trying to stave off the recession. They have stretched their ‘09 advertising budget and jam-packed their new advert with a whole host of celebrities.
The promotional video above is so Nike it’s not even funny, but let’s pretend this is really original – don’t wanna hurt their feelings.
The commercial stars Katy Perry, David Beckham, the Ting Tings, Missy Elliott, Estelle, Method Man, Redman and music mogul Russell Simmons.
I am a person who usually goes out of their way not to check out this kind of thing. Whether it is giving up on the magazine industry entirely, after they stopped bothering to serve me any real news or features in favour of publications that were 2/3 ads and glorified advertorials, or watching digital TV so I can press “Ad Skip” and never watch any adverts in my programming, I try not to be swayed and rely on word of mouth, but this video kind of made me LOL @ its desperation and it’s kind of like “Where’s Waldo: Celebrity Edition”.
