This Halloween, Be Very Afraid…

Psychotic masked killers, terrorizing spirits, the undead and aliens can’t match the scariness of going to bed hungry every night.  Imagine not knowing if you have enough food to make it through the week. That’s enough to make anyone afraid.

At VSBrooks Advertising, we’re lucky enough to work with the largest domestic hunger relief organization in South Florida – Feeding South Florida. So putting a frightful face on hunger was not that difficult for our creative team. Check out our terrifying tribute!

We invite our team members and the agencies that work with Feeding South Florida to view our masks and mark this Halloween by recognizing the true menace among us – hunger.

Now, excuse us while we go check out that strange sound in the basement…
