Shutterfly’s new “Make it a Thing” campaign from agency Mischief @ No Fixed Address showcases the power of creativity and self-expression and how Shutterfly enables people to transform objects into treasured items of meaning. This is the largest Shutterfly brand campaign to date between the mix of content and a fully integrated media plan.
In this TV spot, we get the backstory as to the significance of a personalized mug made on Shutterfly on which the message “The Island of Alaska” appears. Simply when someone thinks Alaska is an island, make it a thing–a personal reminder poking fun yet representing a bond between that person and those knowing the inside joke.
“Every item made with Shutterfly has a backstory. That’s what makes it truly valuable,” said Greg Hahn, CCO and co-founder at Mischief @ No Fixed Address.
Henry Scholfield of RESET directed the campaign spots, including the “Island of Alaska” :30.

Stain remover Vanish presents this emotional short film--created by BETC Havas, Sao Paulo, and produced by LOBO--that explores the profound consequences of bullying and highlights the importance of open conversations between parents and children. Titled The Bully Monster, the animated film premiered at the Maquinaria Festival in Rio de Janeiro on February 15 in a special edition featuring family-focused programming.
The film’s protagonist is a boy who experiences bullying at school but keeps silent about his suffering. Isolation turns sadness into insecurity, creating invisible emotional scars that only grow in the absence of dialogue. When his mother notices stains on his uniform, these marks become the starting point for a revealing conversation. As words find space to make themselves heard, the stains begin to fade.
This initiative aligns with the Vanish Saves Your Uniform campaign, which, for the past three years during the back-to-school season, has engaged with parents by positioning the brand as a trusted partner in preserving school uniforms. This year, Vanish decided to broaden the conversation, bringing bullying into the debate as the real stain that can impact a child’s life.
The Bully Monster is being screened as preshow material in movie theaters starting February 20 and will also be available on streaming platforms and digital channels. In addition to the film, the campaign will include out-of-home activations and school initiatives through a partnership with Abrace – Preventive Programs, the founding organization of the “Bullying-Free Schools” program, which has been equipping institutions with resources to combat school violence for 12 years.
