The Ad Council has released the latest iteration of its Emmy-Award winning “Love Has No Labels” campaign. With the backdrop of current division and escalating hate, the new creative developed pro bono by R/GA offers a more hopeful reality–one grounded in the idea that even in the most difficult times, love can triumph over hate. And in sheer numbers, it already has as reflected in this PSA titled “Love Leads,” which points out that while hate is loud and gets clicks, it collectively musters 308 million online mentions–compared to 2.3 billion for love.
“Love Leads” attempts to reframe the conversation around hate to showcase the power of choosing love, which can have a profoundly positive ripple effect on a community.
“The Love Has No Labels campaign platform continues to be a testament to the important work from the Ad Council,” said R/GA global chairman and chief creative officer Tiffany Rolfe. “Through the lens of our shared humanity, this latest PSA has never been more important–with hate constantly filling our social feeds–something our diverse team is unfortunately all too familiar with. It’s vital to remind all those affected by hate that there is an abundant amount of love out there. We are honored to continue this essential work with the Ad Council.”

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.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles. As a 120-year-old brand, Ford looked to its past as inspiration for the switch that’s taking place today.

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
