About Love Has No Labels: The Love Has No Labels campaign, created by R/GA, first launched nationally in 2015 with a video of skeletons dancing and embracing before coming out from behind an x-ray screen revealing themselves as diverse couples, friends and families. The initial video received more than 164 million views making it the second most viewed social activism video of all time and a 2016 Emmy for “Outstanding Commercial”—the first PSA to get this honor.Since then the campaign has launched two new rounds of creative—We Are America with John Cena and Fans of Love with the NFL --to reach new audiences with its message: we all need to examine our own implicit biases.About The Ad Council:For 75 years the Ad Council has been bringing together the most creative minds in advertising and media to address the most worthy causes.
