Shame and blame, dry and boring, data and numbers...These are not what inspire health-related behavior changes. Yet so many PSAs keep trying the same approach with not nearly enough effective change on the other side.

Humor, however, has been shown repeatedly to successfully influence positive health-related behavior change. It can increase the impact of persuasive messages, improves motivation to change behavior, and actually helps us to remember the message longer.

Humor can help people feel more included and helps people feel more connected.

That last part can't be overstated, especially with where we find ourselves in human history.

This is precisely why our Mask Up, It's Cool ad campaign is intended to be humorous. Interesting. Inclusive. Supportive. And inspirational.

Think social satire meets physical comedy, written by the exceptional Shelby Slauer.

We just need your help to bring it across the finish line. If you can, we'd love your help. Please support the campaign here: https://bit.ly/maskupsbprodcheckout

And please pass it on!

When our founder Parijat Deshpande, Integrative High-Risk Pregnancy Specialist started Sticky Bun Productions, it was with the goal to tell stories that inspire change. She recognized the immense power of storytelling to encourage viewers to think and behave differently.

Through storytelling in TV and film, we've seen systemic and cultural change begin to happen around AIDS, LGBTQ+, divorce, single motherhood, etc.

So it was only natural that Sticky Bun Productions first project to move into production would be a campaign promoting health by preventing the spread of SARS2.

The ad campaign is focused on telling a humorous story, written by the exceptional Shelby Slauer, because we know humor has the power to influence health-related behaviors.

Without dry, boring data, without shaming and blaming, the Mask Up, It's Cool campaign is designed to help everyone see just how easy, simple, and cool it can be to protect our fellow community members.

To do this, we need your support. Become a sponsor here: https://bit.ly/maskupsbprodcheckout

From the bottom of our hearts, we at Team Sticky Bun Productions thanks you for your support!

When we were interviewing writers for our Mask Up, It's Cool PSA, almost every single applicant had a personal story to share about how SARS2 affected their family.

People shared stories of their loved ones developing chronic illness and disability. Far too many shared stories of losing their loved ones to the virus.

But did you know, according to a recent study out of Berkeley , if 80% of people wore masks infection rates would plummet? Just 80%.

To give you an idea of what 80% means,

80% of people
..eat fast food weekly...experienced a hotter than average July in 2023...have taken a nap in the last 3 months...say eating watermelon puts them in a better mood...under 30 say they cannot drive without music...say they drive with their pets...say their school aged kids use tablets or technology.

We've already hit 80% for lots of things.

80% doable. 80% is reachable. 80% is attainable.

And just think of all the lives we can save if 80% of us did our part right now.

If you're ready to save some lives, we'd love your help by sponsoring our Mask Up, It's Cool campaign: https://bit.ly/maskupsbprodcheckout

Every little bit counts toward saving lives. You can be a part of that!

PSA!

There are approximately COVID related 500 deaths per week in the United States at this time.

There are over 4 million people out of work in the US due to Long COVID.

Research has shown there are significant and serious implications for reproductive health and risks for pregnancy and fetal complications even with mild acute infections.

This is why we at Sticky Bun Productions are working on a PSA to bring back necessary mitigations to keep all of us safely doing the activities we love.

Without getting into dry and boring details and data, and without shaming anyone, this PSA actually uses humor to show our viewers just how easy it is to be safe AND be out in the world doing the things we love!

We are currently looking for sponsors (any and all levels of sponsorship are welcome!) to bring this PSA into the world. If you'd like to become a sponsor for our PSA, please contact us via our website at: https://bit.ly/maskupsbprodcheckout
