VIDEO: FedEx Takes A Bottle of Pepper Sauce From Nevis to China in New Ad

One of FedEx’s newest ads has a Caribbean star.

The company’s United Kingdom division has produced a new advertising film highlighting its “show the world” campaign, featuring Nevisian pepper sauce maker Llewellyn Clark.

“Mine’s a special way of making pepper sauce. Mine takes time. It ages like wine,” he says. “People love my pepper sauce here on the island. But I want the whole world to try it! That’s my dream.”

The spot then shows the trip of a bottle of Clark’s pepper sauce from tiny Nevis around the world; of course, it does more than that: it shows the global reach of Caribbean creativity.

The pepper sauce completes its journey in China, with a Chinese mother receiving the package, wrapped in a St Kitts and Nevis flag, and feeding it to her husband.

“All around the world, I want to be there,” Clark says. “With that bottle of pepper sauce on the table.”
