Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids in America. This year, 3,044 members of the high school class of 2021 didn’t graduate because they were killed by a gun.
So we held a graduation ceremony for this Lost Class and invited David Keene, former NRA President, and John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime, to deliver the commencement speech.
While they thought they were attending a dress rehearsal for a real graduation, they were actually speaking to the students who would never get the chance to cross the stage because of the work of these pro-gun activists.

To make the point that one in five children die from unsafe drinking water before the age of five, we took a four year old Massai warrior child across Kenya, allowing him to complete his bucket list while we filmed it.
The project won a Cannes Gold film lion the year it came out, helped us raise money for the charity, and also contributed to tons of volunteer requests in Africa.

“An estimated 663 million people globally do not have access to clean drinking water, in part because filtration is complicated and expensive. The Drinkable Book is neither: thanks to a special treatment, its pages double as water filters, killing over 99% of harmful bacteria." -Time Magazine

Confusing laws and prudish cultural biases against nudity make it difficult to navigate which trails are safe for naked hiking.
Luckily, on National Nude Day, Bear Naked Granola is on a mission to blaze America’s first (un)official nude-friendly trail system.
Teaming up with Outside Magazine & GAIA GPS with a first-of-it’s kind partnership, we’re setting out to painstakingly map the country, one naked-friendly-trail at a time.

On World Mental Health Day, we launched Gamer Therapy: A platform that pairs gamers with licensed therapists (who are also gamers) to host real therapy sessions while gaming. People can visit the website to sign up for free in-game therapy sessions or support the cause by donating to help make mental health care more accessible. Initial sessions will be held in matches of Rogue Company, a brand new free-to-play third-person shooter.
We brought the idea to life with Skillshot (a community e-sports company), RAD (a mental health non-profit), and Hi-Rez Studios (publishers of Rogue Company).

The 200-year-old tradition that kicks off Mardi Gras Day
For the past 200 years, Mardi Gras in New Orleans has started the same way: At 5 a.m., The North Side Skull and Bone Gang leaves the Backstreet Cultural Museum and goes door to door, house to house, waking up the neighborhood and spreading a message of peace. As part of our ongoing “Leave with a Story” campaign, we partnered with documentary filmmaker Victoria Rivera to showcase the Gang’s journey – one of many timeless New Orleans traditions.

NFL fans can be very superstitious, which is why 1 in 4 NFL fans haven’t washed their “lucky jersey” in a year or more. Gross. Luckily for them, Tide Hygienic Clean gets at the stains you can and can’t see. So we partnered with the NFL to break the news to fans that their jerseys aren’t lucky, just dirty.
People do weird things for Cheez-Its. They name their pets after them, get them tattooed on their chests, and even sleep with boxes of the cheesy snack. We created a new tagline and launch film that celebrates the world’s aburd love for Cheez-Its and the lengths people will go to get their hands on them.

The “Leave With a Story” campaign used street photography taken in the city of New Orleans between 1949 and 1994. Each photograph, shot by a legendary photographer, is an un-staged glimpse into the story of New Orleans characters and a celebration of the profound and lesser known stories that contribute to New Orleans’ renowned history.
An experiential activation at SXSW lets attendees get in on the con
Heading into Season 2 of Bravo’s scripted series ‘Imposters’ we created an experience at the SXSW Interactive Festival that let attendees pull of a con of their own on Instagram.

A second photo zoomed out to reveal the con.”
