July 1 didn’t just mark Canada’s 150th birthday — it also was the one-year mark until the nationwide legalization of cannabis. Smoking accessory retailer Prohibition took the opportunity to have fun with the milestone, by placing an interactive billboard in the nation’s capital that detected nearby marijuana smoke.

Portugal's premiere of Tupac's biopic "All Eyez On Me" was the starting point for the new Social Animals campaign for NOS Audiovisuais. Tupac is a legend for the older target, yet it is a complete unknown for the younger generations that fill the theaters. That's why we challenged Rui Unas, one of the greatest portuguese influencers, to tell the story of the Rap God through a music video homage with the sound and the visual of the 90's. Once again, the social media agency created, directed and produced the entire campaign internally, including the music production.

400,000 people get injured in fires every single year in France, with 10,000 being medically diagnosed as having severe burns. On reaching the end of their often lengthy and painful treatment, burns victims’ initial reflex is to hide themselves away, particularly if their injuries are clearly visible. They isolate themselves not only to escape stares, but also because no specific structures exist to help them get back to living a (nearly) normal life, and media coverage of the topic is scarce. Founded by Laurent Gaudens, himself severely burnt at the age of 4, the Burns and Smiles association aims to improve the day-to-day lives of burns victims by offering a powerful web-based support network. With a view to heightening the general public’s awareness and helping burns victims step out of the shadows, TBWA Paris and \ELSE relate the story of one such individual, who we join for one very special evening. The film – directed by Nicolas Galoux – demonstrates the extent to which other people’s attitudes and sense of acceptance are two of the keys to coaxing burns victims out of isolation and putting a smile back on their faces, much more than just once a year.

Ingame: Young boys open up about life struggles and mental health in Fortnite. Many young boys in Norway struggle with poor mental health. One in three fail to complete their education by the normal school leaving age, and twice as many start claiming benefits immediately after leaving school compared with 10 years ago. Suicide is the most common cause of death. The organisation Mental Helse Ungdom (Mental health for youth) believes this is because they do not talk about their problems. Ninety six percent of Norwegian boys aged between 9 and 18 play computer games. When they are not gaming themselves, they watch others play on YouTube. Mental Helse Ungdom therefore decided to set up Ingame in partnership with the Norwegian advertising agency Hausmann. Ingame is a panel program on the inside of a computer game, where boys can talk anonymously through their game character. Together with two of Norway’s most popular gamers, Noobwork and Niklas Baarli, the boys played Fortnite, whilst being able to talk about things that were important to them, such as body image, friends, divorced parents, self-image and loss. This resulted in five episodes on Noobwork’s YouTube channel. Without any promotion budget, Ingame has attracted a huge amount of attention in the Norwegian media and on social media, helping to place the mental health of young boys on the agenda.

Those struggling with opioid addiction are likely to keep it hidden due to negative stigma. How do we educate the people closest to them to watch for the red flags, so that they can help their loved ones, before it’s too late? In honor of International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, Netflix, in collaboration with FCB, introduces #WatchforRedFlags. For a month, Netflix will use their most popular series to educate people on the symptoms that signal an Opioid Addiction. Throughout the shows, anytime a character portrays a behavior or sign of opioid addiction, a Red Flag will appear in the corner of the scene, with a popup explaining the behavior and what it could mean. Using our most harmless addiction - Netflix - we build awareness and fight the stigma around a much more deadly addiction. Opioid addiction is closer to home than you think. But by seeing the Red Flags, you are already one step closer to helping those struggling with addiction Digital advertisement created by Miami Ad School, United States for Netflix, within the category: Media.
