Notes

Ford Motor Co. hopes to reach a billion viewers Monday when it airs a two-minute-long commercial at 9 p.m. local time in most markets around the world. The costly millennial commercial stunt showcases all seven of Ford’s automobile brands in a montage of images held together by a song written for Ford and sung by 14-year-old soprano Charlotte Church. The ad from agency J. Walter Thompson carries the Ford logo near the start and at the end, but there is no narrator.
