Titled “Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Rayos,” this video introduces us to a long-distance dad working three jobs in the U.S. to support his nine children, eight of whom are still in the Philippines. He’s a widower who immigrated to the U.S. in order to give his family a better life, sending money back home to provide his children with an education, healthcare and other necessities.
This is the latest installment of the brand’s “Be Soft. Be Strong” campaign and mission to celebrate all types of families that have to be both soft and strong to handle life’s challenges.
Deutsch is the agency behind the campaign, with this Father’s Day installment directed by Eric Kaufman of Steelhead.

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.
