Adweek first reported on the commercial in February 2022 with the headline, 'Jeep's Ad With Singing Animals Gets Even Better When You Turn on Captions.'

''Also sprach Zarathustra' is often used to introduce something big, which is exactly what we had in mind for both the electrified Jeep Wrangler 4xe and all-new Grand Cherokee 4xe,' said Olivier Francois, global chief marketing officer, Stellantis. 'But instead of space, in our commercial we focus on the place we all call home, Earth, which is perfect for these adventure-ready plug-in hybrids.

'It's an honor to have our '2022: Earth Odyssey' commercial recognized by Adweek. And my creative team and I are equally humbled to have this spot, which holds a very special place in all of our hearts, celebrated as it represents the commitment of the Jeep brand to become the global leader in SUV electrification,' Francois added.
