This spot features a father who looks back on his first daughter, Emma, through the years. We start in the present with her getting married, and then see her as a student on an expedition in Spain. Further continuous flashbacks find her as a school crossing guard, as a youngster who forget about some cookies in the oven which started a small house fire, and as a kid who thought it was a good joke to turn the water hose on in her dad's car. Along every step of the way the Automobile Club was there offering support through insurance coverage, travel and other services. Michael Spiccia of Arts & Sciences directed, with visual effects handled by MPC LA.

Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker
Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
