In this TV spot, a country drive turns into the adventure of a lifetime. With the father at the wheel and his daughter as a passenger, a Nissan Pathfinder battles the stormy elements and picks up some friends along the way. Dad and daughter rescue and collect animals in pairs, creating their own wild kingdom within the Pathfinder.
This modern-day version of Noah’s Ark isn’t epic in scale with swooping vistas and wide-angle helicopter shots. Instead, it’s an up-close story as we see the father and his daughter interact and strengthen their bond through the experience.
Peter Thwaites of The Corner Shop directed for TBWAChiatDay, Los Angeles.

Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.”
Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys.
“The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
