This spring, Macy’s is celebrating beauty in all its forms, expanding and redefining the word through a new iteration of their “Find the Remarkable You” campaign.
Created by BBDO New York, the latest effort makes a powerful statement around the word “beautiful” by flipping it on its head, changing the term to fit a wide range of women. In a :60 TV spot, Macy’s features a diverse array of every kind of beautiful over a poem that redefines the word and encourages viewers to find their truest selves. The film ends with the line, “Find the Remarkable You.”
Daniel Wolfe of Somesuch directed the spot which runs on TV and online.

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.
