AT&T and BBDO will debut five new ads during this week’s broadcast of the 2017 Masters tournament. AT&T, one of three global sponsors of the tournament, will present the ads from its ‘The Power of &’ campaign, created by BBDO. The campaign first launched during last year’s Masters tournament and has since been a success.

One of the ads, “Rise Up”, features professional golfer and AT&T athlete Jordan Spieth in his third commercial with the brand. The 30-second spot pairs Spieth with Saul Martinez, an inspirational veteran who lost both of his legs in combat. The commercial, using Andra Day's inspirational song of the same name, demonstrates Saul’s commitment to rise up and take on new challenges every day, and it shows AT&T’s and Jordan’s commitment to veterans like him.

Spieth also wrote a blog to accompany the spot, recalling his experience working with Martinez, with a behind-the-scenes video of the commercial shoot.

A second new ad, called “Kid AR”, uses a child’s imagination to focus on how the Power of & and 5G bring the future to businesses and consumers faster. The 60-second film shows a child utilizing a homemade AR headset to see fantastic technology of the future in his neighborhood – self-driving cars, coffee-delivering drones, robotic construction sites and virtual dinosaurs. It demonstrates how 5G makes life easier, faster and smarter and how AT&T is bringing to life the capabilities of tomorrow – an environment that makes the Internet of Everything possible.
