Agency 72andSunny created this music video for the Legacy Foundation’s truth campaign. Titled “Left Swipe Dat,” the video is a social attack on tobacco. Research has shown that people are more likely to “left swipe” you if you’re smoking in your profile picture.
To fight a social issue with social content, 72andSunny and truth wrote the song “Left Swipe Dat” along with a music video featuring multiple YouTube and Vine influencers. Through this initiative, 72andSunny is helping truth be social, as well as socially relevant, by creating content that resonates with young social media users.
The video features artists Becky G and Fifth Harmony and YouTube stars King Bach, Grace Helbig, Harley Morenstein, Anna Akana, Jimmy Tatro, Alphacat, Terrence J and Timothy DeLaGhetto.

FCB Health New York, an IPG Health company, and SAFE Project have joined forces to create “The Snowball,” a short film that spotlights winter as a common catalyst for dangerous increases in alcohol consumption. In collaboration with creative studio LOBO, “The Snowball” combines a compelling visual metaphor with cutting-edge animation and a haunting soundtrack from Billie Holiday.
As millions embrace “Dry January,” the onset of colder, shorter winter days still leads to an uptick in alcohol misuse, which can lead to liver cirrhosis and other medical maladies and dangerous consequences for one’s life.
