Continuing in the vein of the “So Stylish You Can Wear It” campaign, the Argos home and furniture collection shows off its autumn/winter fare in a fashion show shot in the English countryside. We see an unassuming couple stumble across an array of striking models and woodland creatures who strut along an ethereal forest catwalk, clad in a curated range of Argos’ stylish homeware and furniture.
Smoke and light filter through the trees as curtains are used as cloaks, bedside tables as hats and armchairs swing through the air occupied by beautiful flower adorned models in the guise of woodland nymphs. There’s even a woman on a horse adorned with a chandelier.

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.

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
