HOW IT ALL STARTED

THE ASK

Develop a purpose campaign that brings people together to Shine A Light on antisemitism.

THE INSIGHT

Food connects us all, regardless of culture — and food content thrives on social media. What if we harness this to unite people against hate?

THE IDEA

Break Bread encourages social media users to discuss antisemitism and hate, fostering solidarity through shared stories. Together, we can pave the way to a more accepting future.

OUR CAMPAIGN BUILDING BLOCKS

LAUNCH VIDEO

A roundtable with influential voices in the Jewish community (including ally/actress Téa Leoni) discuss the impact of antisemitism.

LANDING PAGE

Introduce the social media campaign and show an example from influencer Jake Cohen

SOCIAL CHALLENGE

Amplifier partnerships with influencers and celebrities to draw attention to our campaign and show people how to get involved

OUR CHALLENGES

After months of planning, our biggest challenge was the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel. The backdrop of the entire conversation changed. As a team, we decided that this campaign wasn’t about geopolitics. It’s about hate. It’s about solidarity. Still, our team was tasked to carry forward with a campaign that calls for allies at a time where the words “antisemitism” and “Jewish” were triggering.

My Role:
As the ACD copywriter, I spearheaded the storytelling for this campaign from pitch to launch day. I crafted shooting scripts, shaped story structures, wrote copy for paid social, and developed the campaign mechanism.

Of course, this was a team effort. I collaborated closely with an outstanding Creative Director and worked alongside talented colleagues across various disciplines.
