Ford Motor Company and multitalented DJ D-Nice have collabed to launch the all-new 2021 F-150 in a new multicultural lifestyle campaign debuting today called “More Than Tough.”
Reel 360’s MVP of quarantine easily belonged to the famed DJ (Derrick Jones), the force behind the Instagram Live series ‘Club Quarantine. Last March, nationwide shelter-in-place orders brought the live entertainment industry to a halt.
Alone in his home missing friends and family, the multitalented music artist and producer combated the loneliness head-on and created his now famous “Club Quarantine.” This original, inventive response to the pandemic provided a virtual dance club for millions of people to unite and collectively cope as D-Nice spun musical hits for hours on end.
With his old school jams playing almost every night, it made dealing with all the mess of 2020 a little easier.
“The ‘More Than Tough’ campaign recognizes and celebrates the spirit of American ingenuity,” said Dibrie Guerrero, multicultural marketing manager, Ford Motor Company. “By developing many innovative features to accommodate the diverse needs of its F-150 owners, Ford elevates what’s possible with a little creativity and the right pickup truck.”
“Work It Out,” the new 30-second television spot dropped Monday on OWN, BET and TV One. It features D-Nice driving to a gig in a 2021 F-150 filled with DJ equipment. Respecting social distancing rules and his responsibilities toward masking up, D-Nice brings the party to the partygoers, utilizing the truck’s available Pro Power Onboard™ to run his equipment.

“Being tough has new meaning to me after partying in Club Quarantine with some of the strongest people I have ever met,” said D-Nice. “I’m proud to help introduce the all-new 2021 Ford F-150 that they built tougher to take your hustle to the next level.”
The F-150 campaign includes digital and social activations and can be heard on select podcasts. Social extensions bring to life an intersection of stories showcasing a male artist and female caterer who use their F-150 trucks to come together with D-Nice to celebrate a momentous occasion with the hip-hop classic Call Me D-Nice serving as the soundtrack.
