It is no secret that women’s basketball is having a major moment in 2024, and Glossier is here to jump in on the fun. 

The internationally beloved makeup brand is the Official Beauty Partner of USA Basketball, making it the first brand since 1996 to purely support the USA Women’s National Team. Glossier is supplying team members with packages of skin care products, beauty and makeup products.

Featuring swimmers Lilly King, Kaylene Corbett, Annie Lazor and Tajan Schoenmaker, the campaign nods to a moment from the 2021 games. Fans see the moment, and are inspired to come together and embrace. 

Coca-Cola is continuing to emphasise the theme of togetherness with its Olympic special packaging, which has illustrations of extended arms. When two cans are placed together, they appear to be hugging.

Nike – Winning Isn’t For Everyone 

Taking a unique approach to 2024 Paris Olympics campaigns, Nike’s Olympic campaign focuses on the traits of winners that are often considered negative. 

Using a voice over from actor Willem Dafoe, the campaign highlights how qualities such as an inability to be satisfied, a lack of empathy, and an obsession with power can be difficult for non-athletes to deal with. Yet, it is these very qualities that drive winners to greatness. 

The spot features Nike athletes such as Serena Williams and LeBron James, and has been heralded this year for its efficacy. 

Reese’s – Legend vs. Newcomer 

In support of the Olympics, Reese’s has introduced an Olympic-medal shaped chocolate. 

Reese’s parent Hershey Company is a supporter of Team USA, thus leading to the brand producing content for the Games. The chocolate brand has worked with former Olympians Alex Morgan and Jessica Long, as well as hopefuls Sophia Smith and Haven Shepherd to create a “Legend vs. Newcomer” competition for the campaign.
