Directed by Aaron Stoller of Biscuit Filmworks for Saatchi & Saatchi, this Tide spot titled “Stains Happen to the Best of Us” highlights that life on and off the track can get messy–and even Olympic athletes aren’t immune from stains. Thank goodness for Tide detergent.
Among those athletes featured in the spot are Olympics medalist Noah Lyles and Olympics legend Carl Lewis.
The spot–with the Paris Olympics in the offing–goes live today (6/24) and will air across TV, streaming, online video and social media.

NHS England, M&C Saatchi UK, Director Tom Tagholm Team On PSA Highlighting The Overlooked Signs Of A Stroke
