Pause is Power

Inspired by Simone Biles’ true Olympic journey, we worked across WPP agencies and global markets to bring Powerade’s “Pause is Power” campaign to life. This concept targeted Gen Z and challenged the prevailing “win at all costs” mentality, championing mental health and well-being for a new generation of athletes.

Agency: Lead by Ogilvy and WPP Network, in collaboration with David Miami CCO: Rafa Donato Role: ACD

Directed by the one and only, Kim Gehrig.
