The ad, emphasizing Amex perks across sporting seasons, was directed by Nicole Ackerman with Merman Pictures. It features music tracks from Sofi Tukker (“Best Friend”) and Daphne Willis (“Show Up”).
“Directed by an incredible female director, they tell the story of a mother and daughter bonding over their shared passion for sports,” Jess Ling, senior VP of global brand advertising, told Ad Age. “The energetic, fast-paced creative shows how those experiences are even better when you’re an American Express Card Member, with the memories lasting far beyond that NBA game or U.S. Open match.”
