We are so thankful to our client 1 Hour Optical for giving us the freedom to be creative and to produce a memorable public service announcement. 

The second Emmy was in the “Community/Public Service (PSA)- Campaign” category and was titled “Teen Driving PSAs.” This campaign consisted of the same anti-texting commercial listed above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rClJW9gnchc  and an anti-teen drinking commercial
