Toyota Paralympics

Celebrating the everyday battles of world class athletes.

Celebrating the everyday battles of world class athletes.

Over the last few years, we have come to know Paralympians as 'Superhumans,' but the wider disabled community does not feel seen by this portrayal. Working with Channel 4 and the International Paralympic Committee, we created idents that show that despite being world-class athletes, the challenges Paralympians face are the same as everyone else’s—dirty nappies, looking after pets, and even just getting a word in edgewise with your family.

We worked closely with four world-class Paralympics GB athletes, Kadeena Cox, Jonnie Peacock, Robyn Love, and Laurie Williams, to bring their everyday struggles to life in an authentic and funny way. All based on Toyota's central promise to bring 'Mobility to all'. We collaborated with Channel 4’s accessibility partner Purple to ensure our ads were as accessible as possible, using audio description throughout, with subtitles and BSL versions all appearing during the Games.
