Ford Strong Stories

Ford Strong Stories

Changing the meaning of strength

Ford is a legacy brand. From Built Ford Proud to Built Ford Tough, these iconic slogans are inspired by a perennial American POV. But strength looks a whole lot different today than it used to - and I’m here for it.

Together with Ford, we embraced strength and all its shades. I came up with a custom platform dedicated to sharing Ford’s Strong Stories and uncovering the new faces of strength. At the core, we highlighted today’s Ford drivers in all their glory and demonstrated how Ford powers their lives and experiences in completely unique ways.
