While many period stigmas and misconceptions stem from centuries of baseless taboos and lack of education, even women in developed countries with adequate education systems feel shame and an inability to talk about periods. This proves that period shaming transcends culture and society. Unfortunately, it is universal. Because of this, issues associated with menstruation such as period poverty exist with its victims unable to speak out and seek help. We were tasked with undoing period stigmas and change the way the world talks about them. Connecting Periods encourages period positive language amongst people who were already trying to become more effective and impactful communicators by partnering with Grammarly. The millions of daily Grammarly users make mistakes such as misusing periods or forgetting them altogether. We saw that as an opportunity to raise awareness on societal shaming of periods, encourage period positive language, and literally position periods as a normal topic of discussion that doesn’t need to be euphemized or hidden.

Advertising agency Humanaut launched a national ad campaign for Brooklyn, New York based home furnishings retailer West Elm. The integrated effort debuted Oct. 9 and features a 30-second TV commercial, five 15-second web spots, banner ads and social media. This is West Elm’s first-ever TV campaign and Humanaut’s first work for the brand. Get “House Proud” is about celebrating those seemingly small moments in your life that actually feel like huge victories on your journey to expressing your personal style at home, as an adult. In the tongue-in-cheek TV spot, a narrator leads viewers through a series of slow-motion scenes where homes—and West Elm customers—are transformed by key furniture pieces, such as a mid-century modern dresser, white-linen sofa and a sustainably sourced coffee table. “People suddenly think they should take their shoes off when they walk in to your house,” she notes as a host appears bewildered by her guest’s gesture. In another scene, a woman relishes her new living room piece as we’re told: “Your couch has another couch for your feet—it’s called a chaise.” Social media will carry the hashtag #mywestelm, which customers regularly use when sharing pictures of their homes proudly featuring their West Elm furniture and decor. “There comes a moment in everyone’s life when they buy an item for their home that gives them a true sense of pride—it’s like you've crossed over and finally become an adult,” said David Littlejohn, Humanaut’s Chief Creative Director. “We wanted to capture those genuine moments and encourage everyone to get ‘House Proud’ thanks to West Elm's affordable assortment of modern, artful designs, handcrafted pieces and sustainably sourced products.” West Elm is a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio of brands. Headquartered in Brooklyn, NY, West Elm harnesses the power of design and human connection to enrich lives. Everything West Elm does is designed to make an impact, from creating unique, affordable designs for modern living, and commitments to Fair Trade Certified, from LOCAL and handcrafted products to community-driven collaborations and events. It currently operates 103 stores in the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia, ships internationally to customers worldwide and has unaffiliated franchisees operating stores in Mexico, the Middle East, Philippines and South Korea.

More than a year ago, Movistar+ asked us to undertake what we most love: a challenge. They were just starting out on the production of their own series and needed a transmedia project that was on par with the great content. We decided to confront this challenge head on, taking ourselves out of our comfort zone, and so we began to investigate new forms of story immersion and the result was the creation of an interactive storytelling game for La Zona.
