Sugar Film Production director Chris Smith continues to raise the bar in comedic athlete performances in the latest campaign for H-E-B out of The Richards Group. Starring players from the San Antonio Spurs, the four-spot campaign shows that the latest championship ring does not weigh down the stars of the Texas team. The campaign includes the :30 “Toga,” which features an unimpressed Tim Duncan returning from a workout to find Tony Parker, Patty MIlls, Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili decked out in homemade togas to fully immerse themselves in their enjoyment of H-E-B’s new greek yogurt. The campaign also includes the :30s “Wise,” “Slogans” and “Barbie.”
