Community Films’ Director Pam Thomas’ popular “Dad-Do’s” campaign entitled “Strong is Beautiful” has received a series of prestigious awards at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2016, including Gold, Silver and Bronze Lions Awards. Launched the week of Super Bowl 50, the delightful campaign features NFL star players doing their daughters’ hair. Thomas collaborated closely with the award-winning creative team at ad agency Grey/New York.
“Pantene ‘Strong is Beautiful’ was such an amazing project to work on,” says Community Films’ Pam Thomas. “As the Director working with NFL players and their daughters, I had the opportunity to see the message of the campaign in action. I heard the Dads say how important it was to spend time with their daughters, but I could see from their interactions that this was real. It was vital creative that came from the team at Grey, but one of the things that made this campaign work so well is that it rang true. I am grateful I was part of it.”
