Contender

Proud to share the latest from Contender. A feel-good moment we call 'For the Win' currently airing in heavy rotation during the Olympics broadcast. Love the way the commercial tells the story of a girl dad who sings along with his daughters and their teammates/friends in their soccer carpool until the moment he knows ‘game time’ is upon them, so he flips the switch. A special thanks to Lena Beug of Station Film, our Walmart agency partners, the community, and Publicis Groupe NY, PubW, who helped bring this story to life. Citius, Altius, Fortius

*Oscars Alert*  Incredibly excited to share the news that our latest TV commercial will air during the broadcast of the Oscars. The TV spot, which is part of the wildly successful “Welcome To Your Walmart” campaign, tells the story of how Walmart is the best place to find your Easter’s best. And thanks to an easter egg, will tie into one of tonight’s presenters. Super proud of this work and our whole team at Contender. And super appreciative to have the support of our clients at Walmart and our agency partners at the community, Publicis Groupe NY, Fallon and Digitas North America.
