We're honored that our "Prepare for Misuse" creative, created in partnership with Brady: United Against Gun Violence and McKinney to raise awareness on life-saving secure firearm storage practices, was named a Silver/Bronze 2024 Ogilvy Social Responsibility Award winner for excellence in advertising. The work was also a finalist in the in the Government, Public Service & Non-Profit category. As more people in the U.S., many of them children, live in firearm-owning households, safe storage is an increasingly important and life-saving tool to prevent gun-related violence. We thank the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) for supporting this crucial messaging to keep families and communities safe. For more information on the campaign and secure firearm storage, visit EndFamilyFire.org.
