Research notes

Boston agency behind the national truth campaign (2000-2014, with CP+B at launch) and CDC Tips From Former Smokers (2012-). arnoldww.com did not respond on 2026-10-22; current status of the agency within Havas not confirmed. Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: truth national (Marketing Dive; Adweek 2000 'Web Letters'), Tips (MediaPost 2013), Massachusetts Pam Laffin spots (Adweek 1998). Corrected 2026-10-22: truth source moved off the Cannes 'lovethework' entry (page renders no credits); Tips source moved to MediaPost because the Effie case page is paywalled; removed the separate 'Tips 2' Clio Healthcare 2014 entry (source URL 404, no other page found); Pam Laffin year 1999 -> 1998 (Adweek dated 26 Oct 1998). Unverified (no page found that credits the agency): Tips 2013 Gold Effie and later Sustained Success Silver Effie (search snippets only; effie.org needs a subscription).
