Making Allstate synonymous with “knowing” and the people who know things adds a refreshing dimension to the confidence that comes from knowing “you’re in good hands.” And it marks Wieden+Kennedy Portland’s first campaign for the insurance company.
The campaign includes three spots directed by David Shane of O Positive, including this :30 titled “Not Going To Fit” in which we meet a woman who’s “a human tape measure,” immediately able to determine if, for example, grandma will be able to get a huge turkey into the oven, or if a man will be able to comfortably get into a garment.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.

Now, in 2024, we get to see Lexie, the youngest person to visit every country in the world, take to the wheel of the electric Ford Explorer, reinventing that historic journey for a new generation. Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
