Hit As Hard As Life


ROLE:  Copywriter, made in collaboration with func.media

Hit As Hard As Life tells Zamour’s heartbreakingly true story—the loss of his brother to mental illness, and the brave fight through grief that followed. In honour of Kadeem Johnson’s memory, we hoped to normalize the stigma associated with depression and suicide.

The video was amassed over 45,000 views on Instagram and raised $2000 in support of @camhfoundation’s research and care for those struggling with mental illness.
