Pilot Health – ‘High Jump’ TVC

Overview

Story Machine produced a direct response TVC for Pilot to promote its premature ejaculation treatment, timed strategically around the Olympic Games. The campaign used a humorous but tasteful analogy of an Olympic sprinter jumping the gun to communicate the product benefit in a bold, memorable way.
