FCB's New York and Chicago offices created a "Love, Your Mind" campaign for the Ad Council and Huntsman Mental Health Institute, anchored by a 60-second spot featuring Black and Hispanic men being encouraged by their mind to seek help when they need it. The campaign is running in English and Spanish across linear TV, social, radio and out of home, and will expand next year to target other at-risk demographics, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, women and the LGBTQ+ communities.
