The commercial will be supported by an integrated global press and print campaign, point-of-sale, digital and viral marketing activities. ‘Never Miss a Shot’ focuses on a tennis match across the rooftops and skyscrapers between Ana and Daniela. The game begins when a sunbathing Daniela hears a tennis ball being hit by Ana on an adjacent rooftop; she immediately leaps up from her sun bed, grabs her racket and runs to return the ball, the match begins and a dramatic rally unfolds.
