6 retailers with campaigns for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics

Despite a year’s delay for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a few retailers have still been celebrating the world’s biggest sporting event by releasing advertising campaigns.

Here’s a roundup those that have gone for gold with their marketing this year:

Nike

To celebrate the start of the Olympics, Nike launched a new campaign staring champion athletes including sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, wheelchair tennis icon Diede de Groot, basketball player A’ja Wilson and Sha’Carri Richardson. Titled Best Day Ever, the campaign depicts a world where anything in sport is possible.

Aldi 

As an official partner of Team GB, the discount supermarket chain released its own campaign featuring a rendition of Land of Hope and Glory while wishing good luck to the British athletes.

Vans 

Skateboarding was one of the five new sports to be introduced in the Olympic program in 2021 and to celebrate this, Vans launched a campaign featuring Tony Hawk and other skateboarders on their journey to Tokyo.

DFS

As part of the retailer’s partnership with Team GB, DFS’s campaign honours athletes while looking back at Britain over the last year amid the pandemic, showcasing how sofas became the centre of our lives more than ever before.

Dreams

Mattress and bedding retailer Dreams is another official partner for Team GB, and its ad pays homage to how rest is crucial for athlete’s – and everyone’s – personal success. To highlight this, Dreams released an exclusive range to celebrate the “dream team”.

Adidas

While this is not an advert per se for the sportswear brand and retailer, Adidas is nonetheless an official partner for Team GB, supplying athletes with their kit. Customers can also buy Team GB-themed outfits from Adidas’ online shop.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
