    Brand New School Revamps Ford Campaign for the NFL Season

    Integrated creative company Brand New School recently completed a national campaign for Ford via Team Detroit to help launch its annual Built Ford Tough Sales Event. Directed by Jonathan Notaro, the series of four commercials is a new take on the auto manufacturer’s popular spots for their best selling line of trucks.

    Taking center stage in the campaign is a spot that showcases the versatile lifestyle options of the Ford F-150 with a mix of heavy live action elements and bold animation. Also included are three more animation-focused spots, all of which hit the air during the opening week of the NFL regular season. Taking inspiration from the iconic graphic design work of Saul Bass, these football-centric spots offer a fresh visual approach to this widespread campaign.

    “We’re honored to have contributed on this campaign for Ford,” says Brand New School Managing Partner Devin Brook. “The collaboration with Team Detroit was an ideal fit because of the diverse nature of the job, requiring strong live action and design to put a unique spin on this instantly recognizable campaign.”

  • Ford Poke's Fun Of Men Who Drive Minivans

    Ford Poke's Fun Of Men Who Drive Minivans

    A new print ad campaign for the automotive giant Ford makes fun of the everyday minivan man, and suggests they "Don't Be The Minivan Guy." Ford appears to be implying that if you drive the new sporty Ford S-Max Minivan you'll be cool. Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the S-Max still a minivan?
