A girl is one of several in a Winter Olympics-like ice rink picking up flowers and other plaudits thrown down by the crowd to fete a just concluded great performance by a professional figure skater in competition. One of the girls, though, is about to give her own performance on ice once she picks a teddy bear off the ice. She and the bear launch into a routine–to the beat of the Flashdance song “What A Feeling”–that has the crowd roaring, and the judges giving the proverbial thumbs-up, all the while keeping the next scheduled professional skater waiting in the wings.
This spontaneous virtuoso performance by a youngster underscores the SunTrust Bank campaign mantra encouraging parents to save for their kids’ dreams.
The Los Perez duo from production house Caviar directed this spot for agency StrawberryFrog.

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.

Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
