Advertising agency Spawn Ideas has launched the latest edition of its 90x2020 initiative for the United Way of Anchorage, a multi-year, integrated-marketing campaign that aims to raise funds that the organization will use to increase the local high school graduation rate to 90% by 2020. “Look Beyond the Labels” is the tagline for the 2019 campaign, which is targeting TV, print, radio and digital media to show people the various barriers that keep students from getting an education. “The strategic idea was to give Anchorage a story they could root for and include them in the solution,” said Kaylee Devine at Spawn Ideas. “So many times, people look at kids who skip school or who do poorly as bad or lazy, when the truth is we don't know what they're going through. They might have to take care of younger siblings or maybe don't get enough to eat and can't concentrate enough to do well.” The objective of “Look Beyond the Labels” is to tell stories that create empathy for students who are having trouble staying in school and, it is hoped, to generate donations to United Way programs that research has shown can help them graduate. The initiative has been successful thus far: When it began in 2005, the graduation rate was 59.6% [compared with the national average of 73%]. It has risen to 81.6% in 2019. In one TV ad, set in a classroom, the camera focuses on a student who stares straight ahead with a dead-eyed glaze. “I’M NOT SMART ENOUGH,” the screen reads. However, as the camera pans back, additional text appears, making the picture—and the kid’s words—come into better focus. “It’s not that I’M NOT SMART,” the young man explains. “I just can’t think when I don’t get ENOUGH to eat.” In “I HATE SCHOOL,” we learn that what a teenage girl actually loathes is getting teased by other students about wearing dirty clothes to class. “There’s more to every kid’s story,” a female narrator says, before directing viewers to the 90by2020.org website to learn more about how they can help Anchorage students graduate. Print ads use a similar tack and feature teens with sensational labels like, “I’M A LOST CAUSE” or “I’M JUST LAZY.” However, when we look closer and read between the lines, we see smaller text that helps tell a more complete story. The campaign is running as both paid media (radio, TV, digital) and PSAs (TV) in Anchorage, Alaska. PSAs will continue throughout spring 2019. The digital buy was enhanced with Google AdWords and had a strong presence at local newspaper site ADN.com.

Each year, over 100,000 children in Asia are born with cleft conditions, birth defects that turn the simple act of eating into a challenging task. In order to raise awareness of the situation, Smile Asia wanted people to empathize with the struggle these children go through every day. The Cleft Collection, a unique set of cutlery, was deliberately designed to change the way people eat so they can experience how difficult every meal is for children with cleft lip and palate. With the help of the Ritz-Carlton, the silverware was first unveiled at a dinner event. Unknowing guests were made to eat a four-course dinner with the collection, experiencing a small taste of the frustration children with the condition have to deal with at every meal.

The CCXP is an event in Brazil in the format of a Comic Con. But more than this, it's a pop culture event. In Brazil, part of the population reject the terms "geek" and "nerd". Many people do not like to be defined by these terms. Our goal was to make people realize that they too are a bit of a geek. We've created an almost 6 minutes short film with 60 references/easter eggs from movies, series, games, comics and animes that are well know by people. The short film refers to Street Fight, Game of Thrones, Naruto, Back to the Future, Stranger Things and many other geek culture classics. Well, better than just talking about the film, it's inviting you to watch it. It is impossible not to recognize at least one of the references. In less than 48 hours our content managed to make 2.2 million people on Facebook and 70, 000 on Youtube stopped what they were doing to watch our 5:46 minute film. In a time where less than 79% of Internet users watch more than 15 seconds of a video on the internet - according to Year in Review Institute. Let’s not forget to mention the 48 thousand likes and more than 18 thousand shares. And what make us even prouder, is that in 2017 CCXP turned out to be the biggest Comic Con in the world.
