TBWA/Chiat/Day recently worked with production company Timber to launch a campaign for CBS entitled “Witness Greatness,” promoting the network’s February broadcast of the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl with a pair 30-second promos.
“Spotlight” moves between the big game and outdated music awards show, presenting both as equally big draws. It opens with a series of shots of spotlights, an obvious symbol for the big stage, before footage of players taking the field and Grammy performers taking the stage. Viewers are prompted to “Witness” both events and reminded of their respective dates before the ad ends with the “Witness Greatness” tagline. “Confetti” takes similar approach but keeps its focus on the Grammys. Unlike “Witness,” the ad includes a voiceover, which predictably discusses “years of struggle,” “countless hours of practice” and opportunity tapping you on the shoulder.
