The agency won the work following a competitive pitch, and launched the #GreatStarts campaign today to mark the 100-day countdown to the start of the Olympics in Rio, Brazil.

The campaign for Kellogg’s, an official sponsor of Team GB, recreates iconic Hollywood wake-up scenes from films including Ferris Bueller's Day Off, featuring past British Olympic medal winners Sir Steve Redgrave, Rebecca Adlington and Louis Smith.

Taylor Herring is the lead creative agency and will work closely with Kellogg’s retained media agencies to amplify Kellogg’s role as a sponsor.

As well as devising the core creative, the agency will oversee the PR and digital execution of the campaign.

The campaign will roll out over the coming months and will include a user generated content competition in which people will be encouraged to share their great starts for a chance to win a trip to Rio to see the Games.

Peter Mountstevens, managing partner at Taylor Herring, said: "We all remember the buzz and goodwill around the 2012 Olympics and we plan to build upon those memories with a dedicated, content-led campaign that truly engages the British public."
