Created by Ignited Minds, this eye catching commercial and subsequent campaign for FOX and the Kaiser Family Foundation urges 15 – 24 year olds to pause and think before that make tough, life decisions. The commercial opens with a fast-moving, stylized Pong-like video game paddles which then slowly convert into the pause symbol and a voiceover says, “when you give yourself a minute to think, you give yourself a chance to make a better decision” The spot closes with “It only takes a minute to change your life and a URL which points to fox.com/pause. Future spots will address specific issues like sexual health and substance abuse.
