Beats has tapped in yet another rising athlete for its years-long campaign associating its products with a mix of performance and style.This time around, the ad is pretty cool.Literally.
If you’ve ever watched a soccer team step off the bus before kickoff, you’ve probably noticed at least a couple of players rocking Beats headphones on their heads or around their necks.That’s certainly not an accident.Throughout the years, Beats has invested heavily in making sure its gear is synonymous with pregame swagger.
From tennis phenom Zheng Qinwen to NBA icon LeBron James, Beats has spent a lot in its effort to cement its place in sports culture.Today, it spent even more on a new ad featuring Chelsea’s Cole “Cold” Palmer.In the ad, Palmer aptly glides away wearing his Beats Studio Pro on an ice rink, before the tagline “some play, others glide” rounds out the ad.
