Today, 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with autism. That’s an increase of up to 17 times, in the last 25 years. However the understanding of autism amongst the general public is still extremely low. Because early diagnosis can make a world of difference, it is important that people are informed about the symptoms of autism so they can seek an early diagnosis/treatment. The campaign is designed respond to the growing need to highlight concern and awareness about autism, by illustrating some of its symptoms. Singapore’s largest autism awareness group, The Autism Resource Centre, wanted to highlight the symptom: ‘Hypersensitivity to sound’ for World Autism Month (takes place in April every year). To communicate this message, we integrated search bars on various websites with onsite banners to provide a virtual demonstration of how the slightest sound could be deafening to a child with Autism. We created a world’s first – a banner that was activated by users’ interactions with the keyboard. We developed a source code that enabled us to track letters as they are being typed into the search bar. This, in turn, triggered a reaction from the girl in the banner below, demonstrating how she is seemingly affected by even the light sounds of typing. This campaign went live on half a dozen partner sites with a potential audience of 2.2 million visitors. It also received the attention of TV stations which featured Singapore’s President of Autism Resource Centre, Denise Phua, thus bringing more public attention to the cause.

To promote the world premiere of Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience at Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Acart Communications developed an immersive campaign using multiple tactics. It began with a mysterious, unbranded, “UFO” video that was featured on local TV news, and argued over on Reddit, and on Social Media. Next, the museum released an “intercepted transmission” of a Starfleet Shuttle in trouble. At the same time, an experiential installation of a crashed shuttle nacelle appeared in various locations, with two Starfleet science officers examining it with tricorders and two security officers guarding it. (Those curious enough to ask about it were handed metal cards with the campaign URL, joinstarfleetacademy.ca.) This scene was the subject of a “paid” front-page takeover on Metro Ottawa, with a news story entirely in Klingon (which one Redditor successfully translated). Next, a replica of Kirk’s Captain’s Chair toured malls and events, allowing the public to don a captain’s uniform and read authentic Kirk lines into a moderated Twitter feed, https://twitter.com/jimmykirk2370. Finally, the main campaign creative was released on street-level posters and bus wraps. All creative was approved by the Star Trek intellectual property owner, CBS.

AN AD CAMPAIGN ABOUT BLIND PEOPLE FOR THE WORLD TO OPEN THEIR EYES "Models for equality" is an initiative of the Rehab Center for the Blind of Lima (CERCIL) to raise awareness of optical businesses and eyewear brands in Lima.
