In order to deliver to customers during what's expected to be a record-setting holiday shipping season, deemed “the Shipathon,” FedEx is doing everything it can to get peak performance from its workforce as reflected in this “Training Day” spot directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks for BBDO New York.
We see a FedEx delivery guy whose training has put him at the top of his game, dominating an American Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course to win the competition and deliver the goods, literally.
This ambitious spot–which debuted this past Sunday on televised NFL games–was filmed overnight in a parking lot in downtown Los Angeles.
