What do you want?” can have many contexts, but for the thoughtful protagonist of this new spot for online therapy service BetterHelp.com, it marks an opportunity for a moment of self-reflection.
Created by Toronto’s Untitled Films with newly-signed director Rebecca Applebaum and writer Julia Lederer, Want, the new client-direct campaign, is intended to raise awareness of BetterHelp, while positioning therapy as an important resource for people experiencing anxiety and uncertainty (albeit with a cheeky, offbeat wink-to-camera).
Anchored by a terrific performance by lead actor Izaak Smith, the spot's specific focus on men’s mental health and considered approach to the material makes for something that's relatable and recallable.
