Skins has resumed its strategy of producing controversial advertising campaigns with the launch of its latest TV promotion, leading the global conversation around cheating in sport.
Our 30-second advert, ‘Cheat Legal’, is part of a £500,000 campaign designed to create a buzz around the company’s new A400 premium range of gradient compression clothing.
During the advert, (which rolled out across the UK, Asia, Australia, Canada and Europe across all Sky Sports channels and ESPN) Skins taunts cheats in a variety of sports.
But instead of calling for them to stop, the voiceover says: “To all you fine, upstanding, cheats out there: Keep up the good work. We need the competition.”
The Skins 400 series supplies more oxygen to the muscles giving the wearer a legal, competitive edge.
