NIKE INSPIRE, GERARD DE THAME
Four months after the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, Gerard de Thame landed in Tokyo to help bring "New Beginnings" with his latest spot for Nike out of Wieden + Kennedy / Tokyo. With parts of the country still in ruins and emotions still raw, de Thame found inspiration in the strength of the people he met and filmed. The director notes, "In people finding themselves through sport, there's the collective message of how people can pull together after tragedy." The spot uses the metaphor of sport to show how Japanese athletes of all types refuse to let their spirits be broken in the face of catastrophe.
