中国有句古话“高处不胜寒”，越是众人瞩目的英雄背后，越有人们看不到的辛劳与拼搏，所以吉列剃须刀才说“perfect isn‘t pretty.”——为迎接2016年里约奥运会，吉列策划出了全新campaign口号。
和大多数体育营销广告相似，配以“Perfect Isn’t Pretty”推出的视频非常简洁，但同时讲述了4位运动员的故事。如果不是情节最初从他们的日常生活开始，那么风格上真的和安德玛以及耐克的广告相似（其实怎么看都还是蛮相似的）。最终，Grey广告公司用吉列剃须刀一贯的宣传理念“人能得到的最好东西未必永远美好，但，值得去追逐。”（The Best A Man Can Get Isn’t Always Pretty，But Always Worth The Chase）作为点睛之笔，给人带去无限思索。
正如大家所见，本则广告中讲述了巴西足球运动员内马尔，美国的十项全能运动员阿什顿·伊顿，中国游泳运动员宁泽涛，以及英国自行车运动员安迪·坦纳特四个运动员的故事，广告配乐由说唱歌手Pusha T.改编自当红女星Sia的歌曲《Unstoppable》，并邀请巴西打击乐队共同完成。更多的幕后故事，在花絮视频中可以看到。
广告由内马尔的嘶吼开场，用短暂的时间介绍了余下的运动员后，随着内马尔朝燃烧的球门奔跑而去（球门代表着梦想吗?）,“Perfect is Pretty”出现在屏幕上。的确，每个运动员都必须处理好个人生活、训练以及更高的期待之间的关系，完美背后，应该总有不一样的苦难坚持。
