Ad Council’s Post

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.

It’s important to make sure children are in the right car seat or restraint for their age and size. That’s why we’re teaming up with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA and the new animated film, Gracie and Pedro: Pets to the Rescue, to help keep children safe on the road. This partnership reminds parents to double-check that their kids are in the right seat for every adventure at NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat.
