Roger Federer Filmed in Basel for On Spot
A short video filmed in Basel shows Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer riding a bicycle with a camera mounted on the handlebars. Swiss sports‑shoe company On is confirmed as the party behind the footage; Karin Montani, Senior Lead Communications DACH at On, acknowledged the brand’s involvement while remaining deliberately vague about the project. The footage appears to be a professional production (a labelled rental van is visible), but On has not confirmed whether it will become a wider campaign. Federer has been an investor and global brand ambassador for On since 2019; On’s September 2021 IPO substantially increased the value of his stake. The article notes Federer’s long history as a sought‑after advertising figure for multiple major brands.
