- Leaning into youth culture
- Inclusivity
- Innovation
The new spot focuses on the “sports stars of the future and the joy of collaborating with teammates,” according to the article. At a time when most kids stop playing sports by age 13 because they’re no longer fun, the spot is playful and upbeat and features stars like Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres, among others.
Thornton is trying to remake or evolve Gatorade’s image, taking it from a firm that’s about providing “sports fuel” to a “brand that’s fueling sports culture and athletic wellness.”
