Lucy Bridger's confidence boosting new Super Bowl spot for Dove

The new ad, created by Ogilvy and directed by Dark Energy's Lucy Bridger, marks the first time since 2006 that the brand will make an appearance during American football's biggest night, with an important message about boosting self-esteem in young athletes. The spot - broadcasting in the first quarter of the Big Game - provides a new twist on the Broadway classic, 'It's the Hard Knock Life,' illuminating the pervasive issue of low body confidence among young girls, which stops them from playing the sports they love.
