Directed by Simon Stock on behalf of Moxie Productions, the 40-second and 20-second ads show young people buried in a dump.

The copywriter and art director was Orlando Warner.
Sherry Adhami from FutureYou said: "The concept for the advert is simple and literal. In reality, almost one million young people in the UK feel consigned to life on the scrap heap and we have refused to shy away from this upsetting fact, by bringing it to life through a nationwide advertising campaign."
Carrie Hindmarsh, managing director of M&C Saatchi, said: "FutureYou is a cost-effective programme aiding social mobility by harnessing the potential of our young people. It is a proven model that works and we look forward to many more great partners signing up to offer their expertise."
