With Saatchi, EXF.STUDIO helped bring EE's Yes Boys campaign to life: films and digital initiatives supporting EE's partnership with the England football teams, countering the harmful messages young men meet online through the trusted relationship they have with their grassroots coaches.

The challenge
Young men face a constant stream of negative, often harmful messages online about what it means to be a man.
The idea
Work through the people boys already trust. EXF created the M-Badge, an educational programme modelled on grassroots coaching qualifications, plus films with positive role models and creators.
The result
A course that helps coaches spot when a young player is struggling with online influence, sexism or body image, and films that show digital platforms used as a force for good.
What AI and tech brands can take from it
Technology's problems are human problems. The fix starts with real people people already trust.
