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.
