CMA CGM - master storytellers!

Wait, did a freight company almost made me cry?

Here. The company is supposed to be just carrying containers for heaven's sake! And here they are, a beautiful, incredibly well-made, superbly copywrited, emotionally moving (sorry, a pun!), but they just done it. They made me dream, they made me engage with them, yes, even with their CSR side-foundation which they inserted without being chichi, they highlighted their racially diverse staff without being haughty (and if you look closely there is the Arabic sticker on the box!), and everyone seemed to be steered by the immense force of dreaming, of making things better. Apologies if I am getting too emotional but not sure superlatives exist to describe this.

Well, no, the ad did not made me almost cry. There is a real tear in my eye. Brilliant! Just brilliant.
