A priority curbside DHL delivery to the one and only James Bond takes a high octane and dramatic turn when a convoy of vehicles approaches his parked Aston Martin interrupting the hand-off. Bond quickly changes the delivery address and a high speed pursuit through Shanghai’s neon-colored urban sprawl ensues. Unfazed, and steadfastly professional, the DHL driver joins the action packed chase and delivers the package to Bond at the new drop-off point and he successfully evades his foes, safely and efficiently.
Adam Berg of SMUGGLER directed this "License to Deliver" spot tie-in to the upcoming Bond feature No Time To Die for agency 180 Kingsday.

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.
