Angie Bird received a Silver and a Bronze Lion for her work ‘First Shave’, via Skin & Bones / Grey Toronto for Gillette.
Samson says: “Angie is so very talented. The way she helped to capture my first shaving experience with my dad with such sensitivity, I just can’t thank her enough. Not just for myself, but for the hundreds of messages in my Instagram inbox from queer folk young and old, who have let me know how this ad has affected them. It’s given them the positivity and hope I wished I’d had as a young trans man – at a time when there was limited visibility and information.”
We Are Proof.
Angie directed a thought-provoking, 3-spot campaign for the Proof Alliance, a national leader in promoting awareness about the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and advocacy for individuals and families impacted by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD).
The campaign, a collaboration with Colle McVoy, aims to provide a voice for those living with FASD, while working to educate regarding the dangers associated with drinking while pregnant.
