Visa NFL advert – Passing the Torch

This commercial by Visa promotes the new NFL season in America. The advert features a bear mascot which terrorises people around the grounds of a stadium.


We see the bear go to a coffee shop and pay by Visa as the ad asks viewers “where would you like to be?” All is fine by the end of the commercial when we see that the mascot is actually a mother in a bear costume who is accompanied by her daughter who is also dressed in a smaller bear outfit.

Visa has partnered with the National Football League (NFL) since 1995 and have announced that the league’s Official Payment Services Technology Provider will continue their partnership through to 2025.
