“I was attracted to this brief for its commitment to telling real stories. I revelled in the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and find ways to authentically present their journey and their voice.”

Putting our Might
where it matters most

This Quit campaign allowed us to display the nuance and complexity of the individual journey to stop smoking. Unique and unfiltered, we delivered 3 very different films to represent 3 true stories of quitting – each distilled down to just 30 seconds.

Did we mention we have an Oscar-nominated director in the Mighty Nice mix?! Oh yeah we do.  Director Robertino Zambrano lost count of the number of hours he spent talking to ex-smokers to make these films for CTCP – and the depth of his investigation really shines through.

Creativity for a cause is where we thrive, and the evocative, visceral style of storytelling was a pleasure to capture. Poignant and beautiful. Empathetic and authentic. Mighty, mighty nice work from the Mighty Nice fam.

Authentic, empathetic
and evocative

A prime example of why we’re on the Nexus talent roster, we love the collective genius of the humans who came together for this project. Our client was stoked and it earnt us street-cred with animators around the world.

Each animation has its own unique style, adapted to the authentic voice and personality of each smoker and their journey. The stories were created with the view of inspiring others to quit smoking for good – no matter how imperfect the path may be.

and the most decent human beings you’ll probably ever meet…
