A first-of-its-kind live social experiment featuring supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
Under Armour’s uber-masculine image had become a polarizing barrier to growing its women’s business. "I Will What I Want" was created to change that, by celebrating women who defy expectations and ignore the noise of outside judgments.

Under Armour signed a woman they knew would be judged.
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen, more readily known for her beauty than athleticism, represented an unlikely partnership with the performance brand. And, as anticipated, everybody had something to say.
Gisele is just a model.
Will Beats Noise (60-Second Commercial)
For the first time, a discussion about a single person happened on one website in real time.
Live commentary about Gisele from all over the web was rendered and projected into a room while she worked out. It was a new and custom experience for every viewer visiting the website.
