Award-winning contemporary gospel rap artist Guvna B has teamed up with Grey London for the second phase of the 'Take:90' campaign.

Launched in August, 'Take:90' aims to help reduce acts of aggression and impulsive violence caused by anger in everyday situations. Research shows that it takes just 90 seconds for the neurotransmitters that cause anger to flush out of our systems.

MOBO award-winning Guvna B has written a 90-second piece especially for the campaign, which is being released on social channels to help spread the message that 90 seconds of calm is all it takes for anger to pass.

The spoken word piece is part of a wider content offering supporting the campaign which includes films, meditation, long copy ads and ‘angrymojis’ for social media. The aim is to make ‘take 90’ part of mainstream vocabulary, just as the term designated driver has helped to prevent drink driving.

Almost 90 organisations have already backed the initiative, including Calm, London First, the National Literacy Trust, the British Transport Police, Westfield, Facebook, Next, VICE, Mulberry Schools Trust, CBI and UniLad who’ve previewed Guvna B’s video. 'Take:90' was developed for the charity Police Now by a WPP coalition including Grey London, Burson Cohn and Wolfe, Hill+Knowlton, Group M and PSB Research.
