Christopher Riggert of Biscuit Filmworks directed this spot from BBDO New York in which we see that rather than raining cats and dogs, it is raining octopuses.
The unexpected chaos of an octopus storm, though, doesn’t deter GE for being ready for whatever challenges the world can throw at it. GE’s innovative technology keeps the octopus onslaught in check, helping planes, trains, power grids and hospitals to properly adapt and continue functioning.
The :60, which runs online on GE’s social channels, shows that the company’s engineers, thinkers, inventors and tech resources can successfully deal with whatever the world rains down on us.

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.

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. 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.
“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
