Sydney Sweeney Sports Parody

PR Campaign

Saturday 12th September, 2026

Novig’s provocative Sydney Sweeney sports advert inspired outgoing SNL star Chloe Fineman to create an unsolicited Instagram parody. Wearing a blonde wig, chest mould and running shorts, Fineman repeated the ad’s “sports” motif while turning its risqué tone into a joke that extended the campaign’s conversation.

Why it worked: It hijacked a viral ad with a fast, visual parody from a known insider, creating a timely media-friendly twist-and-response narrative.

The lesson: Consider rapidly parodying a trending spot with a single unmistakable prop and punchy line, then seed it natively on creator-owned channels.
