February 13, 2008 – 3:03 pm | Written by KiwiPulse

   

Adidas, the official sportwear partner of the 2008 Beijing Olympic, has launched its 2008 Olympic Campaign entitled ” Together in 2008, Impossible is Nothing.” Their goal for this campaign is to bring Sport into ordinary people lives and share the passion and impact of the Olympic. The commercials and ads below is the first in the series. Expect to see more rolling out in phases leading up to the big event. Adidas will oufit almost everyone at the games. They include staff, volunteers and technical officials of the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, all the Chinese Olympic teams, and all other athletes from all around the world completing in 27 of out 28 sports.

The Managing Director of Adidas Greater China, Wolfgang Bentheimer, has the following to say about campaign: Adidas believes that the success of the Olympic means more than winning medals and that the Olympic spirit is not just for the athletes. The passion of all the Chinese feeling about the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will make China a true Sports Nation and Adidas hope to play an active role in this development. This is largest campaign we have ever done in China and showcases the power of the nation : when 1.3 billion people come together. Impossible is Nothing at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

These commercials and ads have already mesmerized many people in China, especially passengers from the streets and subway stations. Just imagine everywhere you go, you are awestruck by the coolest commercials on the big LCD screens and the large-size ads on the walls! I must say, this is very eye-catching and definitely ROCK MY WORLD!

Those ads are awesome! And Adidas is very smart, outfitting the entire staff with their gear. They will have more customers in China for years to come. Talk about creating some brand loyalty!

The style of these ads is really cool - reminds me a bit of 300 (but without all the gore, ya know). I really think the message is clear as well.
