Adidas Originals Gets First U.S. TV Push

The ad, breaking this week via Sid Lee, Montreal, shows the star-studded group at a party decked out in adidas Originals shoes, shirts, jeans and jackets. There are no spoken words in the ad, which runs as long as 120 seconds, though the TV versions run in 30- and 60-second versions. Instead, there are impressionistic shots of the celebs entering the party, dancing, smiling, painting and falling down, all as a remix of the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' "Beggin'" (by DJ Pilooski) plays.
 
Very cool. Both versions are pretty sweet. Thanks TheMaykazine and jca for the clarification, you two rock.

Adidas ads feature musicians but not their music

The campaign, created by the agency Sid Lee in Montreal, depicts music acts like Katy Perry, Estelle, Missy Elliott and the Ting Tings dancing and laughing at a house party in Adidas gear. Besides starring in the TV spots, the musicians will appear online and in print ads.

In an unusual move, none of the TV ads uses any of the featured artists' music. Instead, the spots are accompanied by Pilooski's remix of Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons' "Beggin'."

Licensing songs from the artists featured in the ad campaign would have proved expensive. But Adidas spokesman Jeff Weinstein insists that financial considerations weren't a factor in the company's decision not to use the artists' songs.
