'Throwaway Comments' for Nabs by Ogilvy Health UK

'Art is Freedom' for Hestia by Wunderman Thompson

Hestia, a key player in supporting survivors, is working to dispel myths around the issue of modern slavery with its annual exhibition, 'Art is Freedom,' urging the British public to realise that modern slavery is pervasive and anyone can fall victim. Wunderman Thompson UK supported the charity with a Piccadilly Lights takeover on 18 October (Anti-Slavery Day), promoting Hestia’s Trafalgar Square exhibition delivered in partnership with Westminster City Council, with ad-space donated by Landsec. The film states ‘The art is free, and now so are the artists’, and showcases the work of survivors who are often unseen on the largest out-of-home site in Europe.

‘If I had more time’ for Breast Cancer Now by BMB

Creative agency BMB has created a short film to explore what life is like for those who are living with secondary breast cancer for Breast Cancer Now, the breast cancer research and support charity, marking the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In this new short film, women from a diverse range of backgrounds share a rare insight into what it is like to live with an incurable disease. The film includes previously unseen material from interviews conducted for BMB and Breast Cancer Now’s latest ad campaign, ‘If I had more time’, which broke in late September. The film is also intended to highlight the hope that life-changing research into the disease can bring and Breast Cancer Now’s research that may give more time to those who receive an incurable diagnosis.
