TreeHouse: Table

very nice concept..

good execution in this version.. ^^

I like.

dinner table of the queen;)

Good idea and nice execution.

that is one smart, simple execution for a difficult message. great

Beautiful campaign!!!!

parents plz share!

Simple. Wonder why "someone" said it's deep. =p

Really smart and well done.

Powerful message .. but all three ads say exactly the same thing. I feel that's a waste.

Isn't this similar to some argentinian ads that won at last year's cannes? Something for back pain. Couldn't find a link but it is on AoTW.

Excelente ejecución, la idea aun mejor.

Emotional idea

SO nice.

you mean " KAmol" which won 2 years ago i think ... it's a bit similar on the concept you're right

Very interesting layout and type treatment. But the concept itself is a bit too heavy on the "see-say" side. Although, I really like the fact that there's no room for confusion with the message. You simply do "get it." The same execution/headline three times and nobody is complaining this time. I wonder why. But hey, it's Friday, I'm cool with it...

good i fell it

kick ass!

It plays on a generalization of a spectrum disorder. Every kid is different, with his own quirks and issues. Would like to have seen a variety of aspects addressed throughout the campaign. Besides, we all have ways of reaching our kids. Even the most severe kids connect (especially with their parents) in some way or another. It's the seeing and knowing they are in there but can't get out that breaks our hearts. Plus, the longer you wait - beyond age 5 it's hard to rewire the brain - the harder it is for any therapies to have an effect. Points for setting the mood and bringing awareness to the epidemic.

Besides, if that kid was autistic, he certainly wouldn't be sitting so nicely down at the end of the table. He might actually be under it. Or laying on top of it. Or standing on his chair flapping his little hands. Should've gotten to know some families and kids before moving ahead with the concept.

under the table! on the table flapping...man what the hell...autistic children have AUTISM...they're not retards u shmuck...they're quiet and distant..which this ad conveys in a very true way

's pretty dodgy - I know advertising has stereotypes and emotional leverage as its stock-in-trade, but these ads are a vast over-simplification of the real situation. They're almost inevitably going to upset someone. Did you talk to the National Autistic Spciety before getting started on this campaign?

Didn't you people learn anything from the kerfuffle over the Action For Children's, Monster Dan advertisments?

I see trouble ahead...

I don't have to do research. I HAVE AN AUTISTIC SON. He flaps; it's called a self-stimulating behavior. If he's not flapping, he's spinning, he has vocal ticks too. DON'T YOU DARE ATTACK ME. I LIVE WITH IT EVERY DAMN DAY. When he gets nervous in restaurants he gets under the table and sings. And yes, I've seen some of his buddies climb on top of a table or two...quiet and distant????? NOT ALWAYS. NOT BY A LONG SHOT. It's a SPECTRUM disorder, meaning every kid is different. While some are not verbal, they can still be VOCAL.

YOU COME LIVE MY LIFE AND THEN CALL ME A SCHMUCK. THEN SAY I SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH....MORONS.

beautiful execution..
