The spot features NBA Miami Heat Champion Dwyane Wade and his sacred #3. "3" seems to be Dwayne Wade's lucky number with his 3rd NBA Championship, his signature #3 Miami Heat jersey, and his sinking of the NBA Championship game winning basket with 3 seconds remaining. The concept of the spot is to capture the drama and action of 3 seconds maintained consistently throughout a gripping 30-second spot. "We had to dominate the second," says TPSC Director Andrews Jenkins. "From Wade's moves on the court to the frozen 3 seconds of fan insanity. And as the director, it's that mysterious notion I wanted to visually capture in a way we haven't seen before." Andrews' futuristic vision, high key light and the use of unique and clever camera moves made for this stellar stop-action spot.

Propel featuring Michael B. Jordan
Invisible North (IN) proudly unveiled a pioneering 2024 360 campaign for Propel, starring Michael B. Jordan. Last year, Propel announced Michael as their new brand partner, with a shared mission of bringing communities together through movement. In year one, IN partnered with Propel and Michael (alongside NOUN and Acceleration Community of Companies) to launch the Propel Your City Project (PYCP) - an initiative to drive fitness access by investing in local communities.
To launch the project, a hero film was created to share the ‘why’ behind PYCP and feature one of the partner organizations, WalkGood LA. Following the launch, they partnered with organizations in Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, and LA to expand programming in bespoke ways to address local needs and make the most impact. Year one was a huge success - providing over 160 free fitness classes for exercisers nationwide and seeing a positive impact on the local organizations, including supporting WalkGood LA in establishing an accessible, central fitness space called The WalkGood Yard. Building off of the success of 2023, IN worked with Propel and Michael’s team, to lean into the power of community to create a brand anthemic spot. This year’s TVC showcases Propel’s shared mission with Michael to help exercisers reach their goals with the help of their community. As their research confirmed, for many exercisers, going on their fitness journey alone can be difficult, which is why the spot captures the energy and motivation that comes from moving together. It also highlights how Propel plays a role in fueling your fitness journey, with Michael speaking to the power of having a community that pushes you toward your goals.
