Honda launched an online video and social media campaign during April, which is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The "Thumbs Up" campaign targets millennials who text and drive. Sadly, this epidemic isn't just an issue with young adults. The 60-second video is a series of text messages between a young couple. One is celebrating a birthday and ribbing her significant other about her present: a silver bracelet. The pair exchanges lovey-dovey sentiments, complete with emoticons. When the birthday girl texts her boyfriend to see if he's nearby, she's met with radio silence. Her boyfriend has been texting while driving, and he's been in a terrible accident, illustrated by the pair's text conversation shattering to the bottom of the screen. See it here. "DNT TXT & DRV" closes the video, along with the #thumbsup hashtag. RPA created the campaign.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings, Hill Holliday created a lovely 50-ft wall installation with some of the 50,000 letters, artwork and hand-written messages the One Fund received along with donations. Then it invited the survivors affected by the bombings to see the letters for the first time. The One Fund has raised more than $60 million that was distributed to the victims' families and survivors without any money spent on overhead. On the One Fund Boston site is a series of survivor reactions to seeing the 50-foot installation for the first time. It will be hard not to tear up after watching "Many Stories" and seeing the overwhelming gratitude each survivor has for the outpouring of support given by people of all ages throughout the world.

Talking retirement, 401ks and other forms of financial planning can be a daunting task. Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards launched an eye-opening TV campaign on why it's important your financial advisor is CFP-certified. Anything less and you might as well get financial advice from a DJ. That's exactly what happened in CFP's TV spot, where hidden cameras were placed and people came to a faux financial firm looking for advice. A seemingly knowledgeable man gave them sound advice, or so they thought. After each meeting, the financial planner asked each potential client if they would trust him with their finances. Every person said yes, only to find out that the financial planner is actually DJ Azmyth, who had removed 14 years' worth of dreadlocks to play the role of faux financial advisor. "If they're not a CFP pro, you just don't know," concludes the ad, urging consumers to visit LetsMakeaPlan.org to find a Certified Financial Planner professional.

Random iPhone App of the week: To celebrate the Memorial Day launch of The Tull Family Tiger Trail exhibit at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, an app was created where players take on the role of a Sumatran tiger.

The app is available for free in the App Store, or players can visit www.tigertrailgame.com to play the desktop version. RED Interactive Agency created the app.

Just when I thought spring was finally here for good, I woke up to snow on the ground. This colorful ad for Sherwin-Williams is helping me break through this winter funk. "Kaleidoscope" has a '60s music vibe as color chips morph from boring to extraordinary, turning into pinwheels and flowers bursting with colors.
