中國有句古話“高處不勝寒”，越是眾人矚目的英雄背后，越有人們看不到的辛勞與拼搏，所以吉列剃須刀才說“perfect isn‘t pretty.”——為迎接2016年里約奧運會，吉列策劃出了全新campaign口號。

和大多數體育營銷廣告相似，配以“Perfect Isn’t Pretty”推出的視頻非常簡潔，但同時講述了4位運動員的故事。如果不是情節(jié)最初從他們的日常生活開始，那么風格上真的和安德瑪以及耐克的廣告相似（其實怎么看都還是蠻相似的）。最終，Grey廣告公司用吉列剃須刀一貫的宣傳理念“人能得到的最好東西未必永遠美好，但，值得去追逐。”（The Best A Man Can Get Isn’t Always Pretty，But Always Worth The Chase）作為點睛之筆，給人帶去無限思索。

正如大家所見，本則廣告中講述了巴西足球運動員內馬爾，美國的十項全能運動員阿什頓·伊頓，中國游泳運動員寧澤濤，以及英國自行車運動員安迪·坦納特四個運動員的故事，廣告配樂由說唱歌手Pusha T.改編自當紅女星Sia的歌曲《Unstoppable》，并邀請巴西打擊樂隊共同完成。更多的幕后故事，在花絮視頻中可以看到。

廣告由內馬爾的嘶吼開場，用短暫的時間介紹了余下的運動員后，隨著內馬爾朝燃燒的球門奔跑而去（球門代表著夢想嗎?）,“Perfect is Pretty”出現在屏幕上。的確，每個運動員都必須處理好個人生活、訓練以及更高的期待之間的關系，完美背后，應該總有不一樣的苦難堅持。
