"We Are All Fans"

 

Snapchat

Along with a Sponsored Lens, we also created 35 Snap Ads. (Don't worry, there are just a few here. And they're all under :10.)

 
 
 

Twitter

Brands who aren't Olympic sponsors can't even tweet Olympic-related words during the Games, let alone images of athletes. So we used emojis. With a pre-produced library of 3D GIFs depicting likely Olympic moments, Ford was able to be part of the Rio conversation in real-time, without breaking any rules.

When the diving pool turned green, when Simone Biles got her fifth medal, and when everyone though the cupping marks on Michael Phelps backs made him look like butterfly, we started conversations without saying a word.

"We Are All Fans" ads were also custom-shot for Twitter.
