Castrol NFL in Houston – Jonathan Zizzo

Castrol partnered with the NFL for a very silly ad campaign in which Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson would be the star! The campaign would run on Facebook for a whole year, a new image rolling out every 2 weeks! Jonathan Zizzo from Dallas and I travelled to Houston for the shoot via ad agency Ogilvy & Mather (NYC). We had many tongue-and-cheek scenarios for Adrian to act out. He was such a ham in front of the camera!! Bonnie did a great job finding such ridiculous props (many with a Vikings theme) on such short notice. Everything happened so quickly that I didn’t have time to take behind the scenes photos, but I did get a snap of me holding our supporting actor “Little Burrito”, teacup chihuahua. Oh yeah, and something about a chrome Corvette too.
