To date, this campaign has been honored with 18 awards — but but i'm especially proud of being recognized for Best Use of AI. For this project, Framestore used AI to help de-age voices of Holocaust survivors - bringing their younger selves to life in a powerful, deeply human way. By casting Eastern European youth talent, we enabled these survivors to activate voice clones that reflected the exact regions they came from - restoring accents, emotion, and authenticity. It was a privilege to work at the intersection of technology and history, helping preserve these voices for future generations. Big thanks to TBWA\Canada and Liberation75 for their trust with this project. Congrats to all involved.

A huge win for DDB Canada as they took home the Design Campaign of the Year award from Strategy for the “Young Again Never Again” campaign with Liberation75.
With our custom music, sound, mix and groundbreaking voice closing for de-aging survivors - this campaign invited audiences to connect deeply with Holocaust survivors, giving voice to stories that must never be forgotten. Through design, we bridged generations, allowing the past to speak powerfully to the present—a testament to the power of remembrance and storytelling.

YOUNG AGAIN / NEVER AGAIN /
1 in 3 kids believe the Holocaust never happened. Liberation 75 set out to mandate the education of the Holocaust in schools so this tragedy never happens again. This campaign has been so effective, that the mandate was issued. This multi-media effort features actual survivors and their stories of perseverance and survival. The process of de-aging their voices was a mix of casting Eastern European talent and creating AI voice clones. Thank you Liberation 75 for trusting us to bring these stories to a new generation through storytelling, custom music and sound.

A single fuzz-drenched guitar riff kickstarts “Get Lost” as the Bonham-esque beat brushes up against a raucous and raw chant. “It’s a simple little love song with garage rock sensibility,” says frontman and songwriter Donny Dykowsky. “In the early days it was impossible for me to write anything this straightforward. However, emotion tells the story and it’s just fun”.
“Get Lost” is the first track from Mirrors on the Moon’s upcoming self-titled debut EP coming later this year. Dykowsky’s latest offering of songs find a balance between psych-rock and Americana with themes exploring existentialism, love, and mysticism.
Mirrors on the Moon is the brainchild of singer, guitarist and producer Donny Dykowsky (Chesterwhite). He’s joined by Chesterwhite bassist Freddy Pastore as well as drummer John Hummel [Lady Gaga] keyboardist Dave Archer [UNI and the Urchins], with Emily MacMahon [Colorjoy] on backing vocals.
“There are mirrors on the moon,” Dykowsky says. “We shoot lasers at those mirrors to calculate how far the moon drifts from the Earth. The name is three-dimensional for me, because I think of where I’ve been and what’s to come.” He continues, ”These songs have a certain weight to them, and hopefully the performance is sincere enough where you can find truth in them as well.
