Adidas signs up Chung as brand spokesperson

HONG KONG - Adidas Hong Kong has signed on popular Cantopop singer Gillian Chung for a new campaign promoting its sporting and casual apparel Fall/Winter 2007 Collection.

The outdoor drive, which is geared towards convincing local women that sport can be just for fun, is expected to break next month. The creative will launch in several high traffic areas in Hong Kong, including Causeway Bay and Mongkok, among others.

According to adidas HK chiefs, Chung was chosen to front the campaign because of her “former life”, in which she was an elite hurdler.
