Lionel Messi, Didier Drogba Star In New Turkish Airlines Commercial

Lionel Messi returns in a new campaign for Turkish Airlines, according to CAMPAIGN LIVE. In a previous ad for the airline, which was viewed more than 139 million times on YouTube, Messi raced NBA L.A. Lakers guard Kobe Bryant around the world in a "competition to see who could take the best selfie." In the new spot, Messi is "chased by his fellow footballer Didier Drogba in a contest to visit the most exotic restaurants." Crispin Porter & Bogusky London created the campaign, which includes an online competition that "invites people to share their own food selfies for a chance to win flights" (CAMPAIGN LIVE, 11/14).
