From showcasing world-class partnership with OUTFRONT Media USA, to looking back at iconic "Creative that Endures" on the Insights Stage, and a candid conversation about maternal mental health at The Female Quotient Lounge, this week was a reminder of what's possible when creativity and cause unite. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, tuned in, and leaned into honest conversations with us!

We're proud to see Chaunté Lowe take the stage at Amazon Ads' unBoxed this week.

As a featured champion at our Public Service Award Dinner last year, Chaunté shared her story of resilience, perseverance, and hope that left a lasting impression on everyone in the room. At unBoxed, Chaunté shared further insights on her partnership with the Ad Council and Amazon Ads on The Mind Set, an innovative effort to help normalize conversations about mental health, and she explored how technology can help extend life-saving messages to audiences at scale.

It's a powerful example of what can happen when purpose-driven storytelling and innovative technology come together to drive impact. We want to thank our board member Alan Moss for everything he did to make this partnership possible.

And congratulations, Chaunté, on another powerful speech, and thank you for continuing to inspire others through your advocacy and leadership.

Knowing the early signs of Alzheimer's disease can help people distinguish between normal aging and potential warning signs of something more serious.

On World Alzheimer's Day we proudly launched the newest creative in our "Some Things Come with Age" campaign alongside Alzheimer's Association.

The new creative, titled "Out of Place," spotlights how changes in memory, behavior or daily routines can be easy to dismiss as normal aging. Our new PSAs encourage families to recognize the difference between normal aging and early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, and benefits of an early diagnosis.

Early detection can help open the door to best care, support, and access to treatment options. Learn more at 10signs.org.

When used correctly, car seats can reduce fatal injury risk by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers.

This Child Passenger Safety Week, we’re teaming up with NHTSA , the creative agency BUCK, and and Sum to launch new work reminding parents and caregivers that routine car seat checks can help keep children safe on every ride. The new creative message is clear: parents can use NHTSA’s trusted resources to quickly verify that their children are in the right seat for their age and size.

Remember: “They Grow. You Check.” Learn more about car seat safety at NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat.
