Concussion Awareness Now ‘Pickleball’

We partnered up with Abbott Labs and Concussion Awareness Now to produce one of our biggest projects yet, centered around this adorable Melon family. With four 30-second TV spots and a multitude of additional social animations and print materials, we are so excited to finally debut these characters and everything they’re a part of!

The Melons aren’t just here to look pretty, they’re advocating for a good cause. More than 50% of concussions are ignored, and they’re on a mission to change that.
