This PSA addresses the effects of secondhand smoke on children whose mom is a smoker. We see a young man rushed to the hospital with as asthma attack as flashbacks show him growing up over the years, with his mom smoking around him.
Magellan Rubin directed the Wyoming Department of Health spot, “Dear Mom,” which came out of agency Warehouse 21.
EP Ben Jones of production house Image Brew teamed with filmmaker Rubin and Warehouse 21 creative director Jordan Dean to craft the moving PSA which targets mothers who smoke around their children. A concluding super reads, “Every year, more than 600,000 deaths are caused by secondhand smoke. Close to 30% of those deaths are among children.”

The new creative picks up where the previous left off. This time it focuses on a particularly boorish office worker, drolly played by character actor Wyndham Maxwell, who ticks off an encyclopedic list of facts and non sequiturs during business meetings and to the bemusement of his colleagues.
The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
