    The Best Work You May Never See: Northwell Health, Strawberry Frog, Director MAPP Address The “Tiger” In The Room With Anti-Gun Violence Spot

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3451 Views

    Northwell Health has launched an awareness campaign focusing on gun violence prevention. Agency StrawberryFrog developed this TV spot titled “Ferocious Tiger” for the campaign which will be shown in New York. The :30 was directed by MAPP of Fancy Content.

    The integrated communications platform centers upon a simple idea: guns are now the leading cause of death for kids, and asking about unlocked guns in the home could help save lives. Northwell understands that asking may be difficult or awkward, but breaking the taboo of talking about access to unlocked guns is the first step of gun safety. Northwell believes it’s time to carve out a healthcare lane for this issue, because it truly doesn’t kill to ask.

    Northwell set out to fuel action by speaking to consumers in a new way that doesn’t skew political, preachy or judgmental. Thousands of hospitals, health systems, and hospital associations have joined this movement encouraging families to do one simple thing: ask about gun access and safety measures. The key goal is to reduce risk, putting the danger of unlocked guns front and center, while stressing the importance of asking friends, family, and neighbors about gun access.

    In addition to the 30-second TV spot, Northwell’s gun violence prevention campaign includes integrated content such as OOH, radio, digital display, and social media. 

    “You won’t forget this. The challenge is massive. Most people think gun violence involves the typical 18 year old shooter, when in fact many times it’s children in the home finding unlocked guns,” said Scott Goodson, CEO of StrawberryFrog. “We needed a creative approach that let millions of American parents ask other parents whether they lock up their guns. That’s not an easy conversation to have. Our partnership with Northwell led to this bold campaign with a completely new POV on gun access and safety.”

    The Best Work You May Never See: Rodrigo Garcia Saiz Directs “The HInVisible Celebrity” To Address Spain’s Stigma Over HIV

    Wednesday, December 25, 2024

    Following World AIDS Day, which was celebrated on December 1, co-production companies Central Films and Freelance For track one man’s existential, and potentially career-altering, decision to “come out” as living with HIV in Spain in this public service spot titled “The HInVisible Celebrity.”

    Out of agency Señora Rushmore for ViiV Healthcare Spain, in collaboration with GESIDA, SEISIDA, and Apoyo Positivo, the PSA--directed by Rodrigo García Sáiz via Central Films Spain--addresses the stigma against publicly living with HIV in Spanish society. In the more than 40 years since the first case of HIV appeared in Spain, no public figure in Spain has claimed to have HIV. Viiv Healthcare Spain asks, if there are 150,000 people with HIV in Spain (or approximately 1 in 300), why don’t we know anyone with HIV?

    The central character, who dons a mask of television-pixelated anonymity, gives himself an introspective pep-talk ahead of announcing his status to the Spanish public. Along the way, he wonders what will become of his career, and reputation in general, even as he recognizes that his declaration could change Spain’s cultural landscape for the better and for all of those in Spain who live with HIV every day. As no public figure in Spain has ever announced living with HIV--due to fear of public rejection--this character realizes that such a role model could change that.

    The character has already begun building social media awareness with his Instagram profile, @famosoinvihsible, which began cataloging his life as a public figure earlier this fall. Still, though, the figure either leaves himself out of the picture, faces away from the camera, or dons the pixelated mask associated with anonymous admission. “The HInVisible... Read More
