An Awkward conversation can save a life

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults, and yet, something as simple as reaching out to a friend who seems down can make a huge difference. The only problem? Teens find approaching a conversation about mental health with their friends too awkward.

So we created “Seize the Awkward”, a campaign which aimed to transform an awkward moment from something to avoid into an opportunity to ask a friend how they’re feeling. We not only created a campaign - we created the entire brand.
