TBT: Gatorade Ad Relives The Love for Peyton Manning
Legendary quarterback, Papa John’s promoter, Progressive Insurance diddy singer, letter writer: this Gatorade ad shows us there are a million reasons to love Peyton Manning, nevermind the HGH and sexual assault rumors.
The two-minute Dear Peyton spot from TBWA\Chiat\Day L.A. pays tribute to Peyton Manning by highlighting the hundreds of handwritten letters Manning wrote throughout his 18-year career to teammates, rivals, friends, family, coaches, celebrities, and die-hard Sheriff fans. Some of the recipients are familiar faces like Peyton’s former Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy, New York Yankee legend Derek Jeter, and his brother Eli. Other recipients aren’t famous, but watching them read the letters was just impactful.
Dear Peyton, thanks for 18 great years. Sincerely, Creative Ham.
