The majority of car-owning Americans don’t know how to fix a flat and put off buying new tires—and the combination makes for a lot of “oh no!” moments. The newest campaign from Big O Tires takes a humorous look at car repair by turning the big “oh no” moment into a big “oh yes!”
The “Big O Yes!” campaign, created by Kansas City-based agency Barkley, portrays the crises that come in assorted instances, including in this spot in which a wobbly tire plays havoc with a platter of green jello being held by a backseat car passenger.
Nick Kelly of The Sweet Shop directed the commercials in this campaign, including “Jell-O.”

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 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.
