Overview

A tribute to Serena Williams, Gatorade’s long-time partner, that focuses on her legacy of self-love.

A once-in-a-lifetime talent, Serena Williams would soon be evolving away from the game that she had forever changed. As one of Gatorade’s longest-standing athlete partners, the brand wanted to celebrate Serena and pay homage to her impact on and off the court in an iconic way fitting of the G.O.A.T.

The film premiered during MTV’s Video Music Awards, helping Gatorade to break through the news cycle, being one of the first brands to pay Serena tribute ahead of her final U.S. Open. We created such a buzz that, within the first five days of launching, the campaign received 684 earned media placements and 20B earned media impressions. Outlets such as the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, PEOPLE, Variety, Billboard and E! covered the film, stretching the brand's reach into verticals outside of sports. Prominent influencers from the worlds of sports, entertainment and equity & inclusion shared the film, bringing our message deeper into these communities.

We’re most proud that Serena appreciated and shared the film on her own social channels.

Our tribute to Serena’s legacy placed Gatorade in the center of cultural conversations and, most of all, ignited a powerful reminder to truly believe in and love who you are.

LET'S TALK

For some, “good enough” will always be enough. But maybe not for you. Maybe that’s why you’re here. Yeah, we thought so. Welcome.
