Matthew McConaughey teamed up with Roy Spence, co-founder and chairman of GSD&M, again on a new COVID-19 PSA, this one titled “War With A Virus.
McConaughey narrates the spot which he and Spence co-created, co-wrote and co-directed. The PSA promotes isolation and safety amid the coronavirus pandemic. The campaign urges people to stay home, and explains that doing so will continue to help prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, and gives scientists time to find what’s needed to create a vaccine. The PSA will be running across broadcast nationally and on social.

We’ve gained more than 100,000 subscribers in the time since we first launched the campaign in September 2023, and it remains an important driving element of our investment to continue growing and engaging subscribers in the years to come.”
