Fusion

As American as

Agency: SS+K

Description

When news media company Fusion and its creative agency SS+K launched the “As American As” campaign, they expected images like gay men kissing, a drag queen standing on her stoop and an African American baby wearing a “black lives matter” t-shirt to spark a public conversation about diversity and inclusion in America. What they didn't expect were for those images to be rejected outright in some of the most cosmopolitan places in America—even on a building in New York’s Lower East Side. In response to the censorship detailed below, Fusion and SS+K created a new billboard in Manhattan—this time with the censored images crossed out. “X marks the spot of censorship,” the billboard says. “See the images America wasn’t ready for.”

This professional campaign titled 'As American as' was published in United States in January, 2017. It was created for the brand: Fusion, by ad agency: SS+K. This OOH Outdoor medium campaign is related to the Media industry and contains 6 media assets. It was submitted about 7 years ago.
