Ron Rivera, Sean Payton, & Mike Shanahan Go Undercover In NFL Football is Family Ad

The brief:
NFL Ticket Exchange TV Spot from Grey NY — Fatherly Advice
This year’s Ticket Exchange campaign brings real NFL fans together with their favorite team’s head coach in a fun lesson on the best way to get 100% verified authentic NFL tickets. In a hidden camera set-up with a football twist, real NFL Fans buy tickets on-line from a site other than Ticket Exchange and expect to meet up with other NFL fans to buy aftermarket tickets. Instead, one of their favorite coaches, Current Carolina Panthers Coach Ron Rivera, New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton or former Coach Mike Shanahan and show up in disguise to offer up some “fatherly advice” on the benefits of using Ticket Exchange. Social and digital extensions that continue of the story and show behind-the-scenes content will run as well, allowing fans to see more of the excitement around being surprised by favorite coaches.
