There is an increasing call for resilience and mindfulness, as reports are coming in that Americans are the unhappiest they have been in the past 50 years, with 85% of adults reporting that they are not very happy. We are also the busiest we have ever been, with seemingly no extra time for self-care. Existing apps, like Calm and Headspace, are already wildly successful in the mindfulness and well-being arena. The difference is that the audience must download and pay for access to longer meditations and stories. LifeUps will be offered with no payment nor effort required, streaming or online, in under 2 minutes, which likely leads to increased compliance.
This series of animated 2-minute shorts are geared towards adults, but content can be modified to suit specific audiences. High-quality, colorful 2D animation, supported by voiceover and original music. Appropriate for broadcast, educational, corporate environments, Employee Wellness programs, as well as distributed via social media platforms.
