Following the ‘Boys Do Cry’ campaign from independent creative agency, The Hallway, the man behind the campaign, Simon Lee told Mumbrella that dealing with mental health struggles requires normalising the dialogue around it.
“I think the best thing that we can do is kind of what we’re doing here right now,” he said speaking on this week’s Mumbrellacast.
“The reality is it’s not just me, it’s not just you. It’s a lot of people at a lot of times in their life, and I think it’s just about being totally honest and open about it. Unburdening ourselves of all of our individual sort of dirty little mental health secret.”
