That’s the prevailing query in this new ad campaign for Grandma’s Cookies from Goodby Silverstein & Partners. The warm, cozy feeling of being with your grandmother is triggered when a person is munching on Grandma’s Cookies.
In each spot of the campaign–directed by Dave Laden of Hungry Man–someone is eating a Grandma’s Cookie. The cookie smells so delicious, looks so homemade and sparks nostalgic feelings so that onlookers become convinced that this person must be their grandma. Like, their actual grandma. And absolutely nothing will convince them otherwise.
In “Park,” a girl walks up to a burly guy sitting on a park bench and eating a Grandma’s Cookie. She is convinced the he is her grandma and even asks “him” to knit her a sweater. Amusingly enough, he acquiesces.

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. 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.
“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
