Director Kiran Koshy directs an insanely witty spot to raise awareness of prostate cancer and remind men to check their prostates—the male reproductive organ. Kiran and a few friends were discussing a recent study on prostate health and the benefits of frequent ejaculations, and they soon found themselves creating an endless list of creative nicknames for semen, or Euphejisms. Terms like Lust Custard and Brogurt quickly emerged, and resulted in a book idea to raise awareness of prostate health titled "Euphejisms, A Glossary of Sperminology”, which they published and is on sale for just $15 via euphejisms.com. Kiran shot the spot pro bono with the help of a student crew that he teaches at Texas A&M Commerce. 100% of book profits will be donated. Kiran is represented by Slash Dynamic in the US.

The brandโs new expression includes unobtrusive color and design choices that purposely donโt compete with the voice of the artist and instead, serve as a container for the art to have a voice of its own. Executive Creative Director, Gerald Lewis of John McNeil Studio explains โWe needed to create a powerful, distinctive voice for the brand. But, it couldnโt compete with the voice of the artists because in the end, the art has to speak. It had to be simple, honest and genuine, in line with the mission of Creative Growth. Artists will spend 30 years making work, honing their craft and following their voice inside this space. We wanted to celebrate that. So, while the mark, the brand, is simple and honest, itโs also expansive and energetic.โ Kicking off the new brand campaign is a short film capturing the voice of artist William Scott as he walks through downtown Oakland and enters...
