In 2017, Ford Philippines started to focus its storytelling initiatives to its customers as a way to humanize the brand and connect more closely to the car audience.
#GoFurther is a visual storytelling initiative that is social media driven to engage the online community on how Ford vehicles are empowering and enabling customers to go through their daily grind and live out their passions, interests, and lifestyles.
To showcase how Ford vehicles complement the owners’ lifestyles, a series of online videos have been created to showcase their various personalities, backgrounds and interests.
Each story highlights the overall experience of the Ford owner with his or her vehicle and how it helps them go further in their passions in life.
