Stop Bullying,

Ongoing Campaign
2018-2020
Don't be a bully, ya jerk!
We're always very excited to work with our friends at Cartoon Network, especially on this ongoing series of sweet spots looking out for the kiddos — something more important today than ever.
In each spot, we’ve taken a fresh approach to the illustration, which remain nicely held together by CN’s bold colour palette.
Cafeteria
Bullying in the cafeteria? Still bullying. The worst kind, even. In this real life story we see how a kid stood up for another kid, and made a big difference.
New Kid
Being new is lonely. In this real life story, we see one kid go out on a limb to be a new friend to the new kid.
Football
We can’t all be *insert contemporary sports celebrity*. And the only way to get better is to be given a chance to play! This real life story is about kids who stick up for other kids who just want to play.
Include Someone
This one was a tight turn around, but we loved it just as much as our other children.
