Just ahead of the U.S. Open, Morgan Stanley is releasing its first TV commercial highlighting the partnership it entered into earlier this year with the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA). Titled “Boundaries,” the spot features Canadian tennis pro and Morgan Stanley ambassador, Leylah Fernandez, who first made her mark on the tennis world in 2021 at the age of 19. The ad–which features Fernandez-struck tennis balls dusting up boundaries on the tennis court–highlights the power of the partnership between Morgan Stanley and the WTA in providing increased access to the sport and ensuring that “the game is for everyone.”
“Boundaries” was created by agency The Marketing Arm (TMA), and directed by SALSA (Diego Santana Claudino and Guto Azevedo) via production company Raucous Content.

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. 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.
