“just ask google”

Red Gerard

Google wanted to show how AI Mode in Search could answer our biggest questions about the 2026 Olympics. Good thing, as Sara put it, “The Winter Olympics is the Olympics of Googling.” Between the obscure sports and wildly talented athletes, there’s a whole lot to be curious about. So we created spots showing how Google can break down everything from fashion trends to the physics behind incredible athletic feats to the ins and outs of sports you might not know much about. Ask us anything about curling!

Using found footage of Olympians in training (who understandably weren’t looking to sprain an ankle for our shoot), we paired conversational search queries with visuals that brought the answers to life, exploring everything from ski-jumping aerodynamics and bobsled G-forces to how Red Gerard got so damn good at skateboarding.

As advertising luck would have it, we only got to make one spot. So we were thrilled to make it about our favorite skateboarder who famously slept through his alarm on the day he won his first Olympic gold medal, Red Gerard.
