Hasta La Motion!

Reebok ran “Freak Show” as their 2015 Super Bowl commercial, the latest in their “Be More Human” advertising campaign. The spot acknowledges that tough fitness is a lifestyle not always understood. Its methods are intense, demanding and require real commitment. “Freak Show” is a celebration of those who have chosen to be more than they thought they could be through fitness. It is a challenge to all viewers to “Be More Human.” The Be More Human campaign, online at reebok.com/BeMoreHuman, includes other commercials (“Dig Deep!” “Honor Your Body!”), a “Human Score” video (presenting a test “designed to distill our humanness to a numeric value”), and the “Be More Human Online Experience,” a cross-channel platform loaded with tools, information and activities. Reebok’s logo is now a delta, with sides representing the physical, mental and social change that can be achieved through fitness and healthy living.
