Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor train year-round, snow, rain, or shine in this Visa spot by BBDO New York anticipating the upcoming Summer Olympics in Athens. Though one might wonder whether Olympic volleyball stars could afford a flight to Miami or at least, you know, charge it.
If Super Bowl XXXVIII broadcaster CBS was troubled by promoting a sports telecast that would be carried by NBC, the interval of six-plus months before Athens probably took some of the sting out of it.
Visa and Omnicom's BBDO faced MasterCard and McCann-Erickson in the 2004 game ("Homer Simpson Priceless").
