THE CHALLENGE
Enormous success as an anti-brand using facts to expose that Big Tobacco’s lies
But in today’s data-rich, always connected, transparent world – the “facts” have a less revelatory impact
Elusive competition – less overt, but equally powerful
P roliferation of new products
Today’s youth do not connect with brands in the same way previous generations once did

ONE VOICE ACROSS ALL CHANNELS
TVIt’s our broadest medium with a relatively short time to get F inishers’ attention, so we need to be bold and concise.
PAID DIGITALLess is more. Concise and let the pictures do the talking.
SOCIALSocial is more of a dialogue, so we are conversational to keep it fresh.
THETRUTH.COMWe’re speaking to a more captive audience who’ve come to us. We are entertaining but not at the expens e of clarity.
We dial our voice up or down depending on the channel, but it all feels like it’s coming from the same person.
