McAfee Launches AI Scam Awareness Campaign: Keep it Real

McAfee Launches AI Scam Awareness Campaign: Keep it Real

cybersecurity 20 May 2025

As artificial intelligence continues to blur the line between real and fake, online scams have become increasingly sophisticated and widespread. In response, cybersecurity leader McAfee has launched Keep it Real, a bold awareness campaign designed to highlight the rise of AI-driven scams while working to dismantle the culture of shame that often surrounds scam victims. Through a mix of creative digital ads and real-life scam survivor stories, McAfee is turning education into engagement and empathy into empowerment.

Elements of the Campaign

1. AI-Powered Ads Designed to Challenge Perception

  • McAfee partnered with creative agency VSA Partners to craft a series of surreal, AI-generated digital ads.

  • These ads mimic the subtle yet unsettling nature of scams, making viewers question what’s real and what’s manipulated.

  • Notable ad examples include:

    • A woman relaxing on a beach whose head rotates unnaturally—sparking confusion and discussion online.

    • Thematic ads such as “Travel,” “Weight Loss,” and “Tolls” highlighting common scam vectors.

  • Objective: Create an emotional and cognitive response that mirrors the uncertainty users feel when encountering AI-generated scams.

The ads are clearly artificial—but that’s intentional,” said Anne-Marie Rosser, CEO of VSA Partners. “That moment of confusion reflects what people experience online today.”

2. Launch of McAfee’s Scam Detector Tool

  • Coinciding with the campaign, McAfee released the Scam Detector, an AI-powered tool.

  • It automatically identifies scams across:

    • Text messages

    • Emails

    • Video content

  • The tool is aimed at giving users greater control, confidence, and security in their digital interactions.

3. Humanizing the Conversation with Scam Stories

  • The Scam Stories series features real accounts from scam victims who share their experiences to raise awareness.

  • Focus: Destigmatize getting scammed and encourage open dialogue.

  • Shared on social media using hashtags #KeepItReal and #MyScamStory.

  • Early contributors include public figures like Chris Carmack and Erin Slaver, who discussed their own experiences with fraud.

This campaign helps shift the narrative from shame to understanding. Anyone can be fooled,” said Stephanie Fried, McAfee CMO.

4. High Engagement and Impactful Results

  • Initial campaign metrics show:

    • 50% increase in social engagement over benchmarks.

    • 55% higher click-through rates (CTR) compared to similar campaigns.

  • Indicates strong public interest and a growing appetite for honest, educational digital experiences.

5. Strategic Partnerships for Broader Impact

  • McAfee teamed up with FightCybercrime.org, a nonprofit focused on scam education and victim support.

  • Contributions include:

    • $50,000 worth of online protection services donated to scam survivors and volunteers.

    • Educational content and awareness resources co-developed with the organization.

6. Influencer Collaborations for Wider Reach

  • To amplify its reach, McAfee enlisted influencers to create relatable, informative content:

    • Alexandra Madison (@alexandramadisonn)

    • Theo Shakes (@theo_shakes)

    • Kristen Knutson (@callmekristenmarie)

  • These collaborations focus on simplifying complex cybersecurity topics and spreading awareness through authentic storytelling.

With “Keep it Real,” McAfee is leading a much-needed shift in how society addresses online scams. By combining the power of artificial intelligence, creative media, and authentic human stories, the campaign not only educates but also empowers users to navigate the digital world more safely. The initiative exemplifies how technology and empathy, when blended effectively, can raise awareness, foster connection, and spark meaningful action in the fight against cybercrime.

With short-form video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels driving consumer engagement, the move positions both companies to lead the new age of content creation, where platform fluency is just as important as production excellence.

  • Courage’s move supports a growing industry demand for integrated production services that serve both broadcast and digital-first environments.

  • Combining strengths enables streamlined delivery of cross-channel campaignsfrom TV spots to mobile-native reels.

  • The studio has quickly become a go-to partner for Gen-Z-focused brands, especially in fashion, beauty, and consumer goods.

Why This Move Matters: Responding to Shifting Media Consumption

  • According to the Britopian Report 2025, over 70% of Gen Z now uses social platforms as their primary source for news, brand discovery, and shopping inspiration.

  • Traditional high-gloss campaigns alone no longer suffice; modern brand strategies demand platform-native content delivered with speed, authenticity, and creative edge.

  • Courage + Edera bridges this gap, delivering cohesive storytelling across both traditional and emerging media channels.

CEO Insight: Full-Spectrum Content Under One Roof

  • Marco Miraglia, CEO of Courage Production, emphasized the need for "cohesive, high-quality content across all platforms."

  • The partnership allows brands to avoid fragmented production cycles by working with one entity capable of executing campaigns with consistency and efficiency—from cinema-grade TVCs to snappy 15-second Reels.

  • This also opens new pricing flexibility and scalability for both large brands and growing startups.

Previous Collaborations: Proof of Concept

  • In 2024 and 2025, Courage and Edera collaborated on campaigns for top-tier fashion and lifestyle brands, combining storytelling finesse with viral-ready execution.

  • These collaborations have validated the synergy between high-end production aesthetics and trend-responsive content for mobile and social platforms.

  • The formal partnership enhances operational efficiency and unlocks new creative possibilities for clients.

As brands seek unified solutions for omnichannel campaigns, this partnership offers a compelling model for the next generation of advertising in the attention economy.
