| AI Description | The ad campaign titled "125 lives" by CALM, undertaken by the agency adam&eveDDB in 2022, showcases a collection of last portraits of individuals who died by suicide. Located along London's South Bank, the powerful billboard display highlights the discrepancy between appearance and reality, as the subjects all appear smiling and content, yet tragically represent the 125 lives lost each week to suicide in the UK. A man is shown holding a sign that reads, "125 lives are lost every week to suicide," urging viewers to acknowledge the often hidden nature of suicidal thoughts and feelings. The campaign effectively catalyzed a national dialogue, prompting increased discussions and raising awareness about the critical issue of suicide, achieving significant media impressions and impact. |
