Our online commercial 'Y3llow' for Rhinomed

Y3llow is something special we created for four-time Tour De France winner (2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017) Chris Froome. It combines live-action footage of the cyclist with motion graphics and includes a voiceover track we recorded with the cyclist in Melbourne.

The emotions of yellow

The visually spellbinding clip was released on Froome’s social media channels, having been presented by medical technology company Rhinomed – the sponsor for the cyclist’s campaign for a third Tour de France win.

It was made to publicise their product Turbine, a piece of sporting equipment that Froome uses when he rides to optimise his performance - and in just a few days, it racked up over 45 thousand views! 

Froome speaks of the remarkable significance of one particular colour (you can guess which!) and the impact it’s had on him.

“The Yellow Jersey represents pain and sacrifice in the present, for a legacy that lasts forever,” he said. “You earn the shine of the Yellow Jersey in the darkest hours of training.”

Inspiration and accolades

Jumbla Creative Director, Oz Smith, said part of the inspiration was the dream-like qualities in the work of Italian filmmaker Leonardo D’Alessandro.

“The ramping between scenes makes the narrative feel like a stream of consciousness,” he said. “We wanted to combine this style with the old Tour De France posters - which take from the Art Deco era - to create something original.”
