WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

University of Phoenix, Gail & Audrey

Members:

Aired during the Rio Olympics, this ad features Olympian Gail Marquis, who earned a silver in 1976 in Montreal with the women's basketball team.

This documentary style spot speaks with Marquis and her wife in their living room. "Part of my support team while I got my MBA at the University of Phoenix probably was my girlfriend at that time, or my life partner, Audrey Smaltz ... Audrey was a great support by not asking too much of me." Then Audrey adds, "I don't know how you did it all and you had to deal with me too. She's fabulous, look at her. And I love her." Marquis responds, "I love you too, Audrey" and they kiss.

The titles at the end list her as a "World Champion, Wall Street Executive, Advocate, MBA Graduate Class of 2006."
