Desk Break

Golin

Client: ASICS

As workers increasingly returned to the office, ASICS identified the desk as a danger to mental health and inspired the world to move with the ‘Desk Break Clause’ - the first employment contract clause for movement - supported by scientific evidence from King’s College London on the power of move breaks in improving workplace mental health. As ASICS adopted the clause internally and invited other organisations to follow, we launched with a PSA from the world’s scariest boss and unlikely mental health advocate, Succession’s Brian Cox. The result: a ‘viral masterpiece’ generating 2.3B earned media reach, 50M+ PSA views and 1.2M+ Desk Breaks taken, plus endorsement from the World Health Organization Director General, establishing ASICS as a global authority on movement for your mind.
