Brain Lost, Fashion Followed, Decision Made in Anti-Drug Campaign

partnership_vigilante.jpg

From the Partnership or a Drug-Free America comes this Vigilante-created anti-drug TV campaign for the group’s Above the Influence effort. It’s aimed at African America teens and we think it hits the mark perfectly. Coming at the issue from three different angles, the campaign addresses typical teen truisms.

From the classic “where was your brain when you did this” to the “I’m the hippest kid in school because I lead and never follow” to “making the right decision begets positive reward,” the campaign succeeds by finding multiple entry points that allow the campaign to appeal to differing mindsets.

AdFreak has the the spots here, here and here.
