Pennington Biomedical’s Olympic Debut
August 2, 2024 · Baton Rouge, LA
If you’ve been keeping up with the summer Olympics in Paris, odds are you’ve also
seen a commercial for the Pennington Biomedical running during NBC’s coverage. The
Center's Communications & Marketing team secured a local commercial spot during this
world-wide event in an effort to showcase our great work.
The primary goal with the commercial is to help answer the question, "What goes on
at Pennington Biomedical?" This Olympics commercial gives a 30-second insight into
what goes on behind the walls of Pennington Biomedical each and every day.
