The dog days of August can be pretty tough to get through. Every second you're not at the beach or on vacation is too hot, too slow and too dull to bear, making this stretch of summer one where we could all use a pick-me-up. That's the idea behind Honda's Summer #Cheerance campaign. Created out of RPA, the multiplatform assault on the summer doldrums is designed to promote the annual Honda Summer Clearance event.

Over the course of five days (August 4 to August 8), Honda will be sharing more than 20 happiness-inspiring videos like this one, which features YouTube megastar Andrew Hales dancing with strangers on the street, across a variety of social media, or this one, which stars a bunch of singing fish. The campaign also includes a branded Pandora station filled with cheerful tunes -- and even better, stand-up comedy delivered in place of commercials. An ambient component will also bring real-life surprises to the everyman, like piñatas popping up in expected locations.

But aside from the cheer, there's a more touching incentive behind all the merry-making. Once the #Cheerance campaign reaches more than three million people, Honda will donate $100,000 to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Admit it: you're feeling better already.
