Final Chapter of Nike’s 'You Can’t Stop Us' Campaign Motivates People to Move
 
 

It started with an inspiring call to get people moving in quarantine. It powerfully celebrated Middle Eastern women athletes. It floored ad professionals with a stunning split-screen masterpiece that required Wieden+Kennedy Portland to painstakingly sift through over 1,000 hours of footage. Now the final installment of Nike’s “You Can’t Stop Us” campaign, which features the likes of LeBron James, Megan Rapinoe, Serena Williams and so many more, is here. 

Watch: The last chapter, starring Naomi Osaka, Marcus Rashford, Kevin Durant and more, is all about the athlete’s mindset and achieving the extraordinary.

And Here We Are, at the End of 2020
 

There have been many losses this year—personally, professionally and emotionally—but it has also been a time in which we’ve cultivated a new sense of community, humanity and equity. In this Voice piece, TikTok’s head of U.S. business marketing Sofia Hernandez reflects on the way 2020 has changed us for the better, even as it presented some of the greatest challenges of our lives and careers.

The same is true of brands as well.

 
 
 
How Ad Tech's Identity Was Rattled in 2020
 

Ad tech was one of the few angles of marketing and advertising whose most seismic shifts were less directly related to the pandemic. Not to say it didn’t play a part in the changes that rocked the industry, but privacy overhauls and antitrust suits against the “gatekeepers” of advertising and search are top of mind as we head into 2021. Also of note is CTV, which presents a ray of hope in the chaos of uncertainty.

Discover what you should be considering and what’s to come next.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2 Creatives Troll Warner Bros. and Take Domain Name Squatting to the Next Level
