BBDO West Launches Anti-Graffiti, Zoo Pro-Bono Work

BBDO West has been busy lately and has just released two new pro-bono projects. The first is an anti-graffiti campaign for the city of San Francisco supporting the Mayor’s Graffiti Abatement Program. The out of home campaign shows how certain graffiti can affect an environment with images of graffiti placed in people’s homes. While comparing a public place to a private place might not be the best argument against graffiti, it does make the point strongly. The second pro-bono campaign was launched earlier this week for the San Francisco Zoo and consists of light poles transformed into giraffe banners.

UPDATE: Several people have submitted spoofs of this campaign to street art site Wooster Collective.

I hosted Christmas for my entire extended family for twenty-seven years and this year I said I wasn’t doing it anymore and my sister asked ‘Why?’ with genuine confusion – and I realized she’d never once considered that it was work, not joy, and that I might be exhausted

I’m 73 and the regrets I carry aren’t about the things I didn’t do — they’re about the version of myself I maintained for so long that the people closest to me spent their entire childhoods and marriages relating to a performance rather than a person, and I’m not sure how to account for that or whether accounting for it at this stage counts as enough
