Inspiration Monday -

What if the algorithm was used against itself? 👀

2025 Applied Arts Advertising Awards multiple-category-winner (MCW) My Friend, Max Hate takes on toxic influencers shaping young boys online meeting them where it matters most: TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

Rather than speaking at the audience, Bensimon Byrne / Narrative XPR built a campaign that behaved like the content itself—embedding Max Hate directly into feeds to disrupt the manosphere from within.

Smart. Strategic. Unmissable.
