This “For All It’s Worth” :90 created by TBWAChiatDay LA for Principal Financial bucks the ad norm in the financial services category which typically focuses on achievement/numbers and the end goal. Instead this campaign differentiates wealth from worth–the worth of family, the emotional benefit that financial savvy can bring whether you already have wealth or are just starting out.
Directed by Diego Contreras of RESET Content, the spot also brings a much needed shot of optimism to the marketplace, underscoring a brand promise to help people/businesses feel and become more financially confident.

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.

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
