Stephen Pearson of Hungry Man directed this tongue-in-cheek Twin Cities welcome to the Republican Convention courtesy of Campbell-Mithun, Minneapolis. In it two same sex couples are kissing–each couple perched on a park bench. But when some business suit-clad delegates approach, the couples break up, putting a guy and a gal at each bench. Supers explain that the Republicans are coming and that Minnesotans should “Make an effort” to be hospitable.

Developed as part of the Ad Council’s partnership with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and created pro bono by agency StrawberryFrog, this public service campaign underscores the vital role young people can play in reversing opioid overdoses by carrying naloxone (often branded as Narcan or ReVive).
Directed by Haya Waseem via production company Object & Animal, this “It’s Gotta Be You” PSA shows how a girl answers the call to help save another young person.
