Likening its ability to the human body’s “amazing display of co-ordinated movement,” Philadelphia’s Independence Blue Cross, with help from Tierney, is positioning itself as the only company that can make the messy business of health insurance move with alacrity.

Shot by production Santa Monica-based Gartner in high contrast black and white, three spots feature a swimmer, a skateboarder and a hurdler performing their sport flawlessly. A fourth combines the three. SPots will air during and after the Olympics.

Television spots will be supported by radio, magazine, newspaper, billboards, transit, banners and a microsite.
