As Earth Month came to a close, FedEx has launched its latest sustainability marketing effort, themed “Priority Earth,” with the support of musical legend and recognized environmentalist, Willie Nelson.
FedEx has always prioritized delivering for its customers. But there is another priority we all share: Earth. FedEx is doing its part to prioritize a more sustainable planet, with the goal to be carbon neutral by 2040.
Directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks for BBDO New York, this spot features Willie Nelson’s iconic track, “Always On My Mind,” with the star himself making a cameo at the end. Titled “Delivering For Earth,” the film depicts FedEx’s efforts for a more sustainable world by highlighting some of the tangible actions and innovations the brand has put in place to further its carbon neutrality goals. The work catches attention with its somewhat hyperbolic love story featuring real FedEx innovations as “gifts” to the planet, including the increasing use of electric vehicles, reusable envelopes, and “Roxo”—the FedEx SameDay Delivery Bot, now in development.

Top Spot of the Week: iPhone 16, Director David Shane “Write Smarter” With Apple Intelligence
Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.
Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system that can make users look, feel and be smarter. In the case of this “Write smarter” ad, we meet an office worker who leverages Apple Intelligence on his iPhone 16 Pro to dramatically improve his barely literate email to one that is professional, concise and has a measure of eloquence--much to the surprise and amazement of his boss.
This slice of office life highlights the value of key Apple Intelligence upgrades, including Writing Tools which work wonders with the quality of how one communicates and connects with others.
