Featuring Australian Paralympian Col Pearse.

Woolworths is showcasing how the best of fresh is fuelling athletes as they prepare to take on the world in the upcoming Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Launched today, the brand film is inspired by the true story of Paralympic swimmer Col Pearse, whose family and local community helped him create a training pool in the dam on their family farm outside of Echuca, Victoria to train for the paralympics.

The film features Pearse, his family and members of the local Echuca community. It’s this combination of fresh food and fresh Australian thinking that helped Col secure his spot in the Tokyo 2020 Games, and now in Paris 2024.

Outside of Pearse's journey in the TVC, an integrated campaign produced in partnership with M&C Saatchi within the Greenhouse Collective, will feature six other Olympic and Paralympic athletes and some of Australia’s fresh produce inspiring all Australians to fuel their best with Australian fresh food throughout the games period.

Pearse features alongside other athletes including: Mollie O’Callaghan, Jeff Dunne, Ryley Batt, Maurice Longbottom, Vanessa Low and Riley Day.

"Since Rio de Janeiro in 2016, Woolworths has been the proud fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams. It’s a role we are honoured to play, and we wish all of our athletes every success," Woolworths Group chief marketing officer Andrew Hicks said.

“Providing our customers with the best of Australian fresh food is at the heart of who we are and we hope Col’s story and our support for Australia’s athletes at the Games helps inspire the next generation of Olympic and Paralympic champions.”

M&C Saatchi Woolworths executive creative director Richard Morgan said Pearse's story is the perfect example of truth outcompeting fiction.

"This brand film captures the Aussie competitive spirit, determination, grit and a community coming together to help realise an athlete’s dream of competing on the world stage and I can’t wait to see the full campaign roll out in bespoke ways across channels," he said.

The integrated multi-channel campaign launched on Free to Air TV on July 10, and athlete ambassador creative will come to life in stores all across the country from this week. Activity will also roll out across radio, press, digital, content, social, and OOH throughout July, August and early September.
