Johnson & Johnson launches this documentary short as part of its #howloveworks initiative. This first docu short for Johnson & Johnson breaks appropriately enough with Father’s Day on the immediate horizon.
The film introduces us to three dads as they contemplate the impact they’re making on their children’s lives. It’s an emotional, reflective look inside their fatherhood journeys. Each dad has faced different challenges–from insecurity to homelessness–yet they rely on their innate abilities to navigate through.
The film was directed by Antony Crook of RDI and features real dads and families. Agency is TBWAChiatDay.

NHS England, M&C Saatchi UK, Director Tom Tagholm Team On PSA Highlighting The Overlooked Signs Of A Stroke
National Health Service (NHS) England has unveiled a multichannel campaign, “Act FAST,” to raise awareness of the individual signs of a stroke and get people to call 999 as soon as they suspect they may be experiencing any one symptom. The push, which is part of the ongoing “Help Us, Help You” campaign, was developed in partnership with M&C Saatchi UK.
The campaign depicts everyday situations where everything might seem relatively normal, but where there’s the sign of someone experiencing a stroke.
A key component of the campaign is this :30--directed by Tom Tagholm of Various Films--which sets up the idea that initially, a stroke might not seem like much, highlighting key symptoms: from struggling to use a paint roller, to not being able to smile when watching TV, to slurring your speech when reading a story to your grandchild.

We wanted to explore that precise moment when your world shifts, quietly yet powerfully, off its axis during a stroke. We highlight how a tiny external moment can actually be seismic—an extraordinary gear change, framed in a really ordinary way.”
Director Tagholm shared, “My Dad suffered a stroke a few years ago and was saved from the worst by acting quickly, and by the work of the NHS. So there’s... Read More
