Set to the thumping punk anthem “Blitzkrieg Bop” by The Ramones, the ad features live shots showing off the camera’s expert picture capturing. The footage used for the ad was actually from the videos of GoPro users, whom we see taking part in a variety of extreme sports. The ad was seen across the US, including in Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. So, if you did miss it we’ve got you covered.
A marketing exec for the brand revealed how happy they were to have users participating in creating their ad spot. “Marketing teams work tirelessly to create something that will grab the attention of the Super Bowl viewers,” a press release wrote. “Thanks to you, GoPro doesn’t have to do that,” the statement said. “Every day, GoPro users create and share content that inspires us. No think tank needed. You create the most dynamic, engaging content out there. We are just excited to show it to everyone.”
The statement added, “Plus the Ramones. Because everything is better with the Ramones.” And we can’t say that we disagree with them! The fun beat definitely caught our attention and set the backdrop for the super cool commercial!
