Nike & Wieden+Kennedy announced today that they have been awarded a Bronze Pencil via One Show Entertainment in the Television Category-Unscripted Series for the Liu Xiang comeback documentary Chase, which was the only winner from Asia in this category.
The documentary charts Liu Xiang’s journey as he overcomes the crippling disappointment of withdrawing from the 2008 Beijing Olympics due to injury and the long rehabilitation he undertook before his successful comeback in September 2009. Nike prides itself on its commitment to its athletes and their inspiring stories. By telling Liu Xiang’s comeback story, Nike helped Chinese youth not only understand the challenges he has gone through, but also allowed them to reconnect with a true sports hero.
A cut down version of the documentary first aired on national broadcaster CCTV during the 2009 National Games, with the full version of the documentary later showing on five regional stations in China. As well as the free to air broadcast, the documentary was released as a limited edition DVD through Nike retail stores in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Following its release, Chase received widespread online buzz with Nike’s youth audience.
“This award is a testament to not only to the work, but also the collaborative nature of the Nike & W+K relationship. It also highlights opportunities for brands in Asia to tell bigger brand stories and connect with consumers.” says Kel Hook, MD of W+K Shanghai, “It is a tremendous acknowledgement for Wieden+Kennedy Shanghai and the ability we have to create compelling content in partnership with brands like Nike.”
In 2008, The One Club launched One Show Entertainment, a division of The One Club that recognizes outstanding creative work in the realm of entertainment, including television programs, films, both documentaries and commercial releases, games and all other forms of electronic and online entertainment. The purpose of One Show Entertainment is to recognize and award entertainment on behalf of a brand that furthers its positioning.
