Mercedes Big Race Fable

Mercedes is running “The Big Race”, an integrated advertising campaign associated with the 2015 Super Bowl, featuring Aesop’s fable characters Tortoise and Hare. Mercedes has been building interest in the campaign over the weeks leading up to the big game, with teasers featuring former football player Jerry Rice. Mercedes has also rolled out a social extension that includes Twitter accounts for the Tortoise and the Hare and a call for viewers to show their support by tweeting either #TeamTortoise or #TeamHare. Online at bigrace.com, the campaign is designed to promote the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S.

Rice discusses who will win the race between the Tortoise and the Hare with eight-year-old and “pet rabbit owner” Andrew Hunter.

On this segment of Showdown with Jerry Rice, Stephanie Branton, Playboy’s Miss September 2014, predicts that the Hare will win on game day, and she’s got the evidence to back it up.

On this edition of Showdown with Jerry Rice, Jerry brings in the Tortoise for a phone interview. Unfortunately, the phone line isn’t exactly “secure.” Nothing’s going to stop the Hare from having his say.

Mike & Mike in the Morning debate who will win in The Big Race between the Tortoise and the Hare. “Greenie” loves a good underdog story, while Golic favors reality over storybook endings.
