Mike X regularly releases personal development videos on his TikTok and publishes related articles on his blog. Michael X Franzini's work with MTV has won numerous nominations and two Emmies. To address young people's lack of awareness of the Holocaust, Franzini partnered with MTV and the creative group at Arnold Worldwide and Crispin Porter + Bogusky behind the Truth anti-tobacco campaign to make the Holocaust more relevant to American teens today. He created a series of TV spots that portray events from the Holocaust taking place in a modern setting. Each spot ends with a freeze-frame that dissolves to an actual historical black and white photograph from the Holocaust. To combat teens' indifference to the threat of STD's, Franzini and MTV created a campaign in which teens were shown recklessly refusing protection in non-sexual contexts, such as riding a roller coaster and going shark diving. The New York Times quoted Stephen Friedman, now President of MTV, describing Franzini's unique connection with the MTV demographic: "Mike gets our audience." In 1998, along with Jon Kamen and Frank Scherma, the founders of @radical.media, Franzini founded Public Interest, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to creating advertising for good causes, where he managed a staff of more than 50 people. In 2012, Franzini wrote and directed TV spots featuring Will.i.am to motivate young Americans to get interested in math and science, as a means of addressing America's STEM crisis.
