Workers in an office meeting room talk about how FedEx has simplified their e-commerce endeavors–so much so that they can turn their attention to addressing what has become a “passive aggressive” workplace environment.
Yet as they address the problem, they make toxic-tinged passive aggressive comments to one another, eventually concluding that they don’t have a negative working environment.
Jim Jenkins of O Positive directed this offbeat comedy spot, titled “Passive Aggressive,” for FedEx conceived by a creative team at BBDO New York.

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.
