Sound It Out
Sound It Out
When talking to teens, caregivers struggle to move the conversations beyond, “I’m fine.” Especially when it comes to topics of mental health. Ad Council and Pivotal Ventures asked us to develop a campaign that furthered this dialog and moved it beyond the one and two word interactions. So, we created a program that uses a language that communicates all emotions; one that both parties speak fluently… MUSIC.
Because when you can’t fine the language, you can find the lyrics.
First artists sat down with real teens around the country and had honest and emotional conversations with the presence of mental health experts like Dr. Jess, Dr. Alfie & Therese Kempf.
Then the artists turned those conversations into songs that we put together in an album.
Then we made one song into a music video

Seven minutes later, the curtain was lifted and the ad began. #BradshawStain #Terry-akiBradshaw #win.
...and to keep the idea a secret before the big game, we created an entirely different, Super-Bowl-worthy idea as a decoy. Six spots shot in one week. Yes we did.
