-1o8, a Chicago commerce-driven creative agency, has launched “I Got Love,” the inaugural statewide advertising campaign for Illinois Cares for Kids—featuring Illinois artists, musicians and production partners. The campaign, commissioned by the office of governor J. B. Pritzker, lets residents know that affordable early childhood education and care is available to Illinois families. At the centerpiece of the campaign is an animated video which introduces a fresh, modern rendition of the Nat King Cole classic that gives the campaign its name. 1o8 leveraged the illustrations of artist, designer and street muralist Shawn Smith, the vocals of Meagan McNeal and Arla Vox, the animation production expertise of Sarofsky and the music production skills of Squeak E. Clean for the videos in English and Spanish.
