Brendan Malloy of HSI directed this black-and-white commercial starring star NFL quarterback Tom Brady for footwear brand UGG Australia. Brady talks about how he doesn’t like to pocket time outs during a football game–or in his personal life. Using your time outs to full advantage is important, he affirms.
We see the value of his taking time out from a busy schedule when Brady goes golfing with his father. The bond between dad and son is evident in various moments of this spot which is atypical for apparel ads starring star athletes. Editor was Rick Lawley of Whitehouse Post.

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.

Over a century ago, pioneering explorer Aloha Wanderwell set off from Nice at the age of 16 to become the first woman to drive around the world in a Ford Model T. 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.
