Heavy Metal Godfather Ozzy Osbourne stars as an office worker alongside fellow rock icon Joan Jett in an upcoming Super Bowl advertising campaign for the Workday business software company. You can watch a teaser for the ad below
While the full minute-long ad won’t be screened until this year’s Super Bowl (on February 12), Workday have shared a 15-second teaser for it online. The Prince Of Darkness can be seen there sporting a shirt and a tie as he interacts with his confused co-workers. “He’s supposed to be some kind of rock star,” one says – before Ozzy, pivoting around in a desk chair, asks: “Which one of you wants a piercing?”
The spot was directed by Jim Jenkins and developed by ad agency Ogilvy. “No matter what’s going on in the world, organizations can count on Workday’s enterprise management cloud to adapt and thrive in a changing world,” Workday writes in a blog announcing its foray into Super Bowl commercial world.
The upcoming Workday ad will mark Osbourne’s second time starring in a Super Bowl ad. In 2011, he appeared alongside Justin Bieber in a spot for Best Buy.
