Each and every Winter Olympics is a chance to learn about all the official partners in the world. Intact Financial Corporation, for example, is the official partner of Speed Skating Canada, and it would love to see the Great White North add to its forty-two medal haul. It also wants viewers to clap eyes on a 60" commercial directed by Andrew De Zen.

Split into live-action and animation, the ad shows what Team Canada are capable of on the ice—what viewers and spectators can look forward to Milano Cortina. Beneath the ice, however, is a stylised world built from the moments and thoughts that made each skater who they are now. Up top, it's time for Canada's skaters (and the rest of Team Canada for that matter) to leave a real impression.
