The “Tomorrow Starts Here” ad urges the country to bounce back from the disappointing football tournament and succeed at the Rio Games in a host of sports its athletes are tipped to flourish. Fencing and boxing are among several sports featured in the spot alongside potential Olympians including volleyball sisters Clara and Carol Salgado and track athlete Ana Claudia Lemos.
The Wieden + Kennedy Sao Paolo-created spot closes Nike’s “Dare to be Brazilian” push, which it used trumpet flout its long-running ties to the country’s football heritage.
