Frazzled

Frazzled ‘Small Talk’: Using comedy to get Brits to open up.

 

A new identity and the first campaign for mental health charity Frazzled.

69% of Brits make small talk every day, yet 45% never open up about their feelings. So we parodied formulaic, meaningless chats with a film where characters speak generic descriptions of dialogue. This first-of-its-kind style was a hit on social, getting 145,000 organic views, shared by many celebrities and driving a 61% increase in sign-ups.
