This ad highlights a woman on her daily commute who uses Photoshop to reimagine the world around her. She ultimately ends up transforming her everyday mundane ride into a fantastic voyage to the furthest corners of her imagination.
“Fantastic Voyage” will run across broadcast (in both the US and UK), as well as on digital and social. The spot was directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet of Partizan for agency 72andSunny, Los Angeles–with visual effects from the Mathematic studio.
Lauren C. Smith, creative director, 72andSunny Los Angeles, said, “While we started the campaign before COVID-19, we entered into production right as the pandemic started to hit the United States. In an interesting twist of fate, we had to use the power of imagination not only in our film but also in the way we made it. From remote production night shoots in Prague to a video village in Los Angeles to countless remote postproduction calls across oceans and time zones and remote editing/mixing/coloring, we figured out ways to work that we previously wouldn’t have imagined possible. The result is a stunning ode to the places our imagination can take us, even when the world puts constraints and limitations on us.”

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. 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.
“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
