My first job out of college was with Ford. While I didn't make very much money there, they provided me with opportunity for advancement, trained me incredibly well (training which I still fall back to even to this day), paid for a majority of my MBA, and otherwise provided me with a foundation which has served me all the days of my professional career.
They were a company of which I was quite proud, and I have remained a lifelong Ford loyalist. With the exception of buying my mom's crappy Grand Am as I graduated from college, the only vehicles I have ever purchased in my life have been Fords. All ten of them - and I remember them all clearly and fondly - have been Ford or Mercury products (I'm still waiting to buy my first Lincoln).
When the whole bail-out fiasco hit two years ago, Ford acted just like I expected them to act. It was consistent with their culture an their brand. And it further endeared me to that company. Hence, when I saw this commercial, it resonated with me as it reflected exactly what I felt and feel:
I will remain a huge fan of Ford, and will remain loyal to that brand. Thanks, Ford, for continuing to give me reasons to do so.
