A shocking advertising campaign for the non-profit First Call begs the question, “Is addiction a disease?” by examining what would happen if the families of cancer and Parkinson’s patients treated them the same way many respond to those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Created by VML and Sundance Award-winning director Chusy, the spots bring to life to key findings published in “Facing Addiction, The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health,” released last November by the U.S. Surgeon General’s office. Each spot concludes by directing viewers to StopTheShame.info, where they can learn more about the medical realities of substance use disorder and connect with resources to help those seeking treatment.

Reading out loud for others can be a scary thing for children. They are often met with prejudice and comments. We wanted to show them that they are good enough as they are and lift them up. Therefore we invited them to participate in what they thought was a normal audition to be a host at ARK’s annual children books award. What they didn’t know was that we had a surprise for them at the end. Film advertisement created by Something Good, Norway for ARK BookStore, within the category: Recreation, Leisure.

In China, the PM 2.5 AQI levels are broadcasted every day and often falls to unhealthy levels. While the figures are worrying, we asked ourselves what we could do to make monitoring the levels less distressing and more entertaining? So we collaborated with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical (a famous fog mask maker) and gamify this behavior to create The World’s First RM2.5 Entertainment; Air Pollution Discount. The idea is very simple: the higher the AQI levels, the greater the mask discounts! The discounts are determined based on your location around China, and you get them when you access the mobile site with your smartphone. Hence, when the AQI levels change every hour, you get different mask discounts all over China!
