The average person’s attention span is just eight seconds. To promote the 2017 Kia Forte, agency David&Goliath plays on this insight by showing where the mind might wander (while driving) after eight seconds has elapsed.
In the :30 “Talent Show,” an aspiring singer daydreams that she is on stage performing in a competitive singing show. Kia Forte’s driver assist technologies bring her back to reality as the automatic braking system helps to avert a potential accident.
Phil Morrison and Joe Ventura of Epoch Films directed for agency David&Goliath.

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.
