We fight mindless consumption with ads that make you rethink buying

Ever since childhood, we’ve been bombarded with ads manipulating us to believe that our happiness, self-worth, and quality of life is dependent on consuming more.

We fight these ads by buying up ad space and replacing them with our own anti ads.

Help us make a real difference—help us pay for ads and contribute to the fight against mindless consumption.

What drives us?

Mental health

In a world where every ad is a siren call to buy more, we're losing touch with our well-being. Our initiative isn't just about reducing consumption; it's about reclaiming our mental space. By replacing manipulative ads with messages that promote reflection and self-worth, our movement aims to decrease the anxiety and stress that comes from the constant pressure to acquire.

Social inequality

Excessive consumerism doesn't just strain our wallets; it deepens social divides. The relentless push to purchase upholds a system where value is placed on material wealth over human dignity, increasing inequality. Our movement seeks to level the playing field by challenging the narratives that drive us apart.

Environmental impact

Every purchase has a footprint, and our planet is bearing the burden of our consumption habits. From depleting natural resources to contributing to climate change, the cost of mindless buying is too high. Our movement aims to confront this issue head-on by advocating for sustainable living through our anti ads.

FAQ

Do you oppose all ads?

No. We don't see communicating something to the public as inherently bad. We oppose ads that promote overconsumption, at the cost of mental and social well-being, and the environment. Unfortunately, most ads fall under this.

Where are the Anti Ads shown?

Currently they are being shown on Facebook and Instagram, to US based users + wherever people are sharing our artwork. We plan on expanding to other countries, platforms, influential individuals as well as physical locations as our movement grows. The Anti Ad Movement is global.

What is the minimum amount I can buy ads for?

Single payments can be between $50 - $10,000 (USD). You're able to adjust the sum yourself when paying.

What percentage of funds go toward your cause?

100%. The Anti Ad movement is not for profit. Funds will go 100% toward showing the ads, meaning paying ad platforms, magazines, or physical locations for ad space.

Will I see how my funds are being used?

Yes, after your funds have been used toward a campaign, you will be emailed a report showing the audience that has been reached as well as other stats.

Who is behind this?

The Anti Ad Movement is led by Sebastian Juhola, the founder of The Minimalist Wardrobe and the newsletter Focus and Simplicity. This cause is currently operated under the business Unchained Inc., owned by Sebastian Juhola, which is located in Finland. For any questions about the movement, you can email sebastian@juhola.org.
