ClearWay Minnesota "Great Indoors" :30 TV Spot

CAMPAIGN FOR MINNESOTAS NEW SMOKE-FREE LAW IS A BIG WHIFF OF FRESH AIR
Creative Work Example--
September 13, 2007, MINNEAPOLIS—To help educate and inform the people of Minnesota about the date of the new Freedom to Breathe Act, the states new smoke-free law, ClearWay Minnesota has launched a new advertising campaign.
The theme of the campaign is Fresh Air, and it focuses on how the smoke-free law brings fresh air into the great indoors, which in this case includes all bars and restaurants. The law goes into affect October 1 and will make all indoor workplaces smoke-free, including bars, restaurants and private clubs.
The TV is driven by beautiful visuals and an upbeat jingle entitled Give it a Whiff. The spot opens on a bowler throwing what appears to be a strike down a dock that looks like a bowling alley. Subsequent scenes include a would-be restaurant in the forest and a bar scene on the rocky North Shore of Lake Superior, all which work to say the air is as fresh inside as outside.
Minnesotans love fresh air, says Jerry Fury, partner and creative director at Clarity Coverdale Fury. In fact, many of us drive for hours to northern Minnesota just to enjoy some fresh air. Fury added, that The new campaign really celebrates Minnesotans love for the outdoors and shows people that with the new smoke-free law the air is fresh indoors as well.
The multi-media campaign will run through September into mid-November and includes radio, restroom advertising, and a website—www.freshairmn.org.

love it! Thank you for the posting. My daughter is in this. I remember the filming they did that day in North Branch. It was like 99 degrees and NO wind. But what I wonder about it everyone's opinion regarding the new potential posting of side effects to smoking on cigarette packs.
