    Odysseus Arms, Director Alan Ferguson, Beacon Street Studios “Spread Love” For The Body Shop

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3631 Views

    The Body Shop is relaunching a 100% rejuvenated Body Butter with a North American campaign featuring this music video anthem, “Spread Love.”

    Created by women-owned agency Odysseus Arms, Spread Love is the music clip directed by Alan Ferguson (known for his work with Beyonce, Lizzo and Janelle Monáe), famed choreographer Jemel McWilliams, and a cast of diverse TikTok creators–who bring to life the idea that taking care of yourself allows you to spread love and positive influence out in the world. Beacon Street Studios served as music/sound house for the video.

    “Spread Love” was born from Odysseus Arms’ strategic process called Third3ye™, which builds campaigns around participation and feedback from real people. A diverse group of young, smart, and ethically-engaged women aged 20-24 (The Body Shop’s target audience) advised on everything from the Body Butter product to product messages and scent preferences. They also evaluated a range of creative campaign ideas, with “Spread Love” being the clear winner that resonated the most due to its motivating and participatory approach. Third3ye™ is a collaborative process that puts empathy and the people the agency is creating for at the center.

    Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care

    Wednesday, November 20, 2024

    The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.

    This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
