MPAA "I Make Movies"
Campaign for the Motion Pictures Association of America
The Motion Picture Association, after facing a significant threat in the form of copyright law review in the digital age, created a reputational campaign targeting key audiences ahead of upcoming legislative debates.
what we did.
Research showed our audience didn't think illegal downloading adversely impacted the bottom line of the wealthy conglomerates who owned the film studios. Since an anti-piracy approach would have been ill received, we highlighted the stories of the thousands of craftspeople behind movie and tv show productions whose livelihoods depend on the success of the entertainment industry... and the ‘I Make Movies’ mini docu-series was born. We also designed a site to make it easier for people to find what they want to watch without having to resort to piracy: WheretoWatch.com.

The campaign went global, expanding to Canada and parts of Europe.
