It’s incredibly simple and, I’d venture to say, inspiring. It brings the whole issue back to personal achievements at a time when most brands focus on bombast and sound effects, which is another way of saying “shock and awe”.

Shot in one simple take, this ad will probably become a yardstick in terms of execution and impact. The long, unedited image and the copywriting in the voice-over work well off each other, as we slowly understand who that figure on the horizon is.

Does anyone know who the director and agency are?

UPDATE: I’ve changed the video to include all the “episodes” (if I can call them that).
