Ads That...Inspire Kids with STEAM

At LIFEWTR we aim to make everyday life a little more inspired through art. Kids are particularly creative, but unfortunately their outlet for creativity dwindles by the time they get to second grade, in part because schools face funding cuts that impact the arts. LIFEWTR decided to launch the #BringArtBackToSchool campaign to shed light on the importance of arts education and sponsor multiple arts initiatives in partnership with Scholastic. In addition to fostering creativity, arts education has proven to be linked to higher academic achievement and to promote human values like empathy, acceptance and tolerance. We aren't the only brand taking action to inspire kids to reach their full potential. Many brands have also used their platforms to build awareness for STEAM learning (science, tech, engineering, arts and math), which is increasingly important to kids' long-term success.

One Last Thing: Lip Syncing Law Enforcement

One last thing: Lip Syncing Law Enforcement

The Shiggy dance to Drake's In My Feelings may have been this summer's viral sensation, but there's another unexpected challenge that viewers love. America's first responders have been duking it out in a lip sync battle. Some of these videos set the bar really high for their competitors, while others will have you marveling at their dance moves.

What does this mean for marketers?
The lip sync challenge is a unique way to shift people's current opinions about the police by relating to the people they protect on a more human level. According to a Gallup poll, younger Americans' (18-34) confidence in the police has fallen below 50%. By uploading these videos, first responders can reach young Americans where they spend their time—YouTube. How can your brand activate on this insight? Is there another challenge or Internet trend that you could tap into in order to connect with your audience on a more human level?
