Spam and scams are hardly anything new–at least that’s the gist of this tongue-in-cheek Snapple spot which shows us how the telegraph in the 1860s could also be the means of messaging for the con artist.
In this case, folks from the Old West are overjoyed to learn via telegraph–the email of yesteryear–that foreign royalty wants to send them millions of dollars in exchange for a social security number. Horses for everyone, cheers a supposed recipient of this fortune from afar.
Dave Laden of Hungry Man directed “Telegraph” for Deutsch LA.

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.
