David Holm of Supply&Demand directed Chevrolet’s “Journey,” a spot featuring kids who are avid soccer fans and earn selection as Chevrolet Mascots, which awards them with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to meet their star player idols at Old Trafford in England where Manchester United played its first home game of the season.
Conceived by a creative ensemble at Commonwealth/McCann in Detroit, “Journey” follows the children from the moment they’re told they’ve been selected and sees them through the experience of a lifetime, telling the story of how football not only brings us together, but how it can transform lives for the better – and how true spirit can inspire us all.
The children, ages 8 to 14 and representing Brazil, China, India, Thailand and the United States, were each chosen for their moving stories and their embodiment of the spirit of the “beautiful game” of football.
The campaign also consists of Holm-helmed shorts profiling each of the kid Mascots.
