IOC: Together; Breath; Respect; Counting Stars

Earlier today, the Olympic torch was lit marking the beginning of its long and international journey to Brazil's games - hosted this year in Rio de Janiero on August 5.

To mark this occasion, VML has created a celebratory campaign - titled Together We Can Change The World - for the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Helmed by Max Malkin, the campaign features four spots each of which attempt to unite the world through sport.

"The Olympic Movement is here to break down walls and build bridges; and through this emotive campaign we hope audiences will be inspired to learn more and see that together we can change the world,” says IOC 's MD Timo Lumme.

Listen out for Pulp Fiction actress Uma Thurman, who does the voiceover of the English spot while Lenny Kravitz, Corinne Bailey Rae and a couple of other international artists make up the soundtrack.
