As part of its ongoing #BreakUpWithPlastic movement, Cano Water tapped professional hypnotist Damien O’Brien to lead a Cano Hypnotherapy session to encourage participants to let go of plastic in favor of recyclable aluminum cans.
For this initiative, Josh White, co-founder of Cano Water, sought out an idea "smart enough to drive home a serious message.” The brand approached the serious subject with humor, recognizing its ability to disarm and engage audiences, making the topic more accessible and encouraging open conversations about it. As a result, the brand hopes to get people laughing in disbelief about the antics, while reflecting on their own relationship with plastic and how its use has a lasting impact on the environment.
