The campaign, “An American Love Story,” by independent agency Johannes Leonardo, is a tribute to the brand’s impact on America and the country’s impact on the brand.

A 60-second version of the spot, which will air in the third quarter, will be the brand’s first national Super Bowl spot in 10 years.
