McCann NY created this campaign designed to drive weekday business to MGM National Harbor, the casino and resort in Washington DC. While Friday night is regarded as a great night to enjoy a casino, what about the other weekdays?
To consider those possibilities on Monday through Thursday, McCann teamed with director Jim Jenkins of O Positive to personify each of those days in different spots, including this one in which a guy who’s Monday bemoans all the fun folks are having on his night at MGM National Harbor. The campaign asserts that "Every Day is Monumental" at MGM National Harbor.

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.
