New ads from “The Arts. Ask for More.” PSA campaign debut
Press Release
Americans for the Arts, along with The Ad Council and the NAMM Foundation,
announce the launch of a new series of public service advertisements designed
to promote the benefits of arts education. These ads are part of the second
phase of Americans the Arts’ award-winning PSA campaign, “The Arts. Ask for
More.” Created pro bono by Leo Burnett, these television, radio, print, and Web
ads feature a new creative strategy that encourages parents to “feed their
children the arts” with a bowl of “Raisin Brahms” or a serving of “VanGoghgurt”
for breakfast. The ads speak to the benefits of getting a daily dose of the arts,
which include increased test scores, better creative thinking, patience, and
determination, all skills that are fundamental to a child’s education and
development.
