"Global Anthem" was an American television commercial created by advertising agency JWT Detroit for Ford Motor Company (FMC) in 1999. It was Ford's first ever global advertising campaign.[1] At the time, the commercial was believed to be the world's biggest advertisement,[2] one of the largest single commercial productions in US advertising history, and one of the most expensive.[3][4][5] In media terms, it was the most widespread use of one commercial at one time by a giant advertiser.[6][7] Initially, a single two-minute version aired in almost every country in the world simultaneously at 9pm on November 1, 1999, reaching an estimated one billion people, 300 million households,[6][8] and 80% of the world's viewing population.[9][10] It was recorded as the world's first global media roadblock in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1999.[11][12]
