Directed by Harald Zwart with TRY and produced by Motion Blur, the new ad is inspired by the fact that throughout history, Norway has racked up most medals in the Winter Olympics, with USA in a distant second place.

As Norway yet again dominates this year’s competition, on course to beat their own record of 14 gold medals, Norwegian agency TRY has made new ads that bring Americans to the table and ask one simple question: How?

Whilst Norwegians know it boils down to hard work and an inclusive approach to sports, most Americans wouldn’t even have heard of some of the sports Norway excel in, such as Biathlon and Nordic Combined.

The ad follows three guys as they discuss and imagine the truth behind Norwegian success from a uniquely American point of view: A society in which everyone skis, and how Norway rigs the Olympics to fit around their one skill: Skiing. 

The films are part of a campaign that positions Norsk Tipping (The National Norwegian Betting company) as the experts on Norwegian sports, of which they’ve been an integral part of since 1948, as they work to fend off the competition from international betting companies, and their increased popularity in the Norwegian market.
