2022 - A Clydesdale's Journey
This tearjerker of a Super Bowl commercial was released before the Big Game, but its inspirational message still resonates a year later. In the 1-minute-long commercial, we see a Clydesdale attempting to jump a barbed-wire fence, fall and become tangled in the wire. We next see the Clydesdale struggling to stand, much like our nation is struggling to emerge from the darkest days of the pandemic. In the final seconds of the video, the Clydesdale comes galloping back—just like America: "In the home of the brave, down never means out."
