Be a Foster Parent, It’s Worth It.

A Children’s Home Society Campaign

Making Memories | Helping Hand | Baseball TV Spots

Beginning in March of 2023, we were contacted by Children’s Home Society to develop, at the time, one TV spot to show the relationship between CHS, foster parents and biological parents in the reunification process. When life throws parent’s impossible decisions, CHS is by their side at every turn to help create the best outcomes for families.

As the first set of commercials, 60, 30, 15 second spots for Regional TV (East Coast of the United States), was extremely successful, in May CHSNC approached us again with the opportunity to produce two more unique spots, which would in turn become the campaign “It’s Worth It.”

These new spots focused on the relationship between CHS and the foster parents. Showing a strong foundation for the children both parties are coming besides. It does not matter how old you are, male or female, single or coupled, anyone can become a foster parent, and CHS is besides you every step of the way.

Our entire team is extremely proud of what we produced. Check out the full spots, our photography campaign, and some BTS below.

Helping Hand

Making the decision to be a foster parent will be the most rewarding decision you can make, but it won’t always be easy. You will find times, exciting and challenging where you need some advice; this is where Children’s Home Society is here to help you succeed. Be a foster parent, it’s worth it.

Photography Campaign

To go alongside the video campaign, we were also tasked with creating images for print, billboard, and web advertising. This was a seamless process due to being able to direct talent in a similar manner to the video direction on the day. This allowed our team to maximize the production days without going over our scheduled time and budget.
