UNICEF’s new campaign in the U.S. from director Jamie Delaney (who’s on Black Dog’s roster for the U.K.) and agency Accomplice celebrates the global community that helps build, happier, healthier, safer lives for children.
Produced by RSA Films UK for the U.S. market, this “We are all UNICEF” campaign film shows us a range of people with the humanitarian organization who make a positive difference–from fundraising runners to truckers and airport staff delivering aid, from teachers and doctors to students launching awareness campaigns.
Through a series of vignettes, filmed globally, and set to a call-to-action voiceover, we see the supporters, the staff and the partners, behind UNICEF’s work on the ground in 190 countries and territories, providing children with the lifesaving supplies and assistance they desperately need.

NHS England, M&C Saatchi UK, Director Tom Tagholm Team On PSA Highlighting The Overlooked Signs Of A Stroke
National Health Service (NHS) England has unveiled a multichannel campaign, “Act FAST,” to raise awareness of the individual signs of a stroke and get people to call 999 as soon as they suspect they may be experiencing any one symptom.

The PSA emphasizes that time is critical, ending with the line: “Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it’s time to call 999.”
Jo Bacon, Group CEO, M&C Saatchi UK, said, “We want to ensure people take action on the first symptom, rather than waiting for more conclusive signs. To help them understand that even when everything seems normal, something serious might be happening.”
Matt Lee, executive creative director, M&C Saatchi UK, commented: “This is important work. We wanted to explore that precise moment when your world shifts, quietly yet powerfully, off its axis during a stroke. We highlight how a tiny external moment can actually be seismic—an extraordinary gear change, framed in a really ordinary way.”
Director Tagholm shared, “My Dad suffered a stroke a few years ago and was saved from the worst by acting quickly, and by the work of the NHS. So there’s... Read More
