TCL x Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Brand Manifesto
For TCL’s first Olympic sponsorship brand film, the ambition was to create more than a traditional sports campaign. We built a visual world where Milan, TCL technology and winter sport become part of the same arena, turning products and landmarks into part of the spectacle itself.
From the Duomo di Milano and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to Lake Como, iconic Italian locations are transformed through live action, CGI and VFX. Behind the film was an equally complex production. Shot across Milan, Lake Como, and three Chinese cities, the project brought together multi-locations and professional athletes, with sports choreography, camera movement and CG environments designed to work as one.
The result brings TCL’s “IT’s your vibe. It’s your greatness.” spirit together with the energy of Milan, turning the brand’s first Olympic journey into a celebration of technology, movement and the anticipation of greatness to come.
