Product Blood Donations
Business Sector Blood/Organ Donation
Story Numerous blood donors of differing ethnicities are shown passing a plate of cookies (cookies are served after one has given blood). As the plate is passed, the number of cookies diminsh until there are no more, leaving the last person without a cookie. The VO explains if every donor gave again then there would be no more blood shortages but there might be cookie shortages.
Philosophy Created TV spot that is different from the expected. By targeting current donors, men 35-65, and asking them to give again, shortages could be virtually alleviated. Research showed, this target would respond to a message that was simple, humourous, factual and real
Problem Improve brand perception of American Red Cross and increase number of blood donations. Specific regions in America were and still are in desperate need of blood. Blood supply continues to dwindle from a 7-day to 2-day supply.
