FORD WELCOME TO THE CLUB



A showcase of interesting car clubs around the world that break the perception of who is in a car club and what a car club can be.

This film series and supporting content marked a shift for the 120 year old auto maker — turning the focus away from the vehicles to the people and communities that ride of die with Ford. EPISODE ONE was Ford’s highest performing content in 2023  while EPISODE TWO launched @FordTrucks IG page.



EPISODE ONE



01. MUSTANG MAFIA

Good guys with bad cars from New Orleans, LA










THE FOUNDERS JACKET


We created a custom 1 of 1 jacket for the founder of Mustang Mafia, Bert G as a token of apperciation from the Ford community. The jacket was made by Settimers and featured a heavyweight letterman jacket style mixed with New Orleans & Mustang icongraphy.













  


A REAL IMPACT
FOR NEW ORLEANS


We helped Bert and the Mafia donate one of Bert’s old Mustangs to the auto shop program at Alfred Bonnabel High School in New Orleans. This community outreach was something that was important to us in making this project. We needed to show out for the community.





EPISODE TWO



02. NORCAL RAPTORS

An 1,000 mile off-roading epic through Baja California.
