CareConnects.ca Video

HyperActive methodically documented the CareConnects project. The seven part video was shot for two weeks in rural Zambia in HD video. The resulting modular video captures and captivates, and has been a huge success with CARE Canada in fund raising efforts. Hosted by CTV's Ravi Baichwal and Sonja Nordahl.

Print ads focus on the positive - using hope rather than despair as the key emotion - and put the entire campaign through the eyes of a child while promoting education as the way to ensure the future of Africa's children.

Challenge

Launching a web-only fund raising initiative that would support a progressive community schools program in Zambia was a deliberate gamble on CARE’s part. This project would not call on the traditional donor base, but would try to get the web-savvy Gen-X group involved in the fight against illiteracy and AIDS in central Africa. The challenge was to communicate an African education project to an audience that has frankly become numb to the images of families and children in distress in the news, in television progamming, and in advertising.

Strategies

In order to cut through the clutter of competing Third-World helping agencies, HyperActive created a strategy that focused on the positive - using hope rather than despair as the key emotion - and put the entire campaign through the "lens" of the child.

Tools

Using a web site that features video clips, audio clips, photo albums, and virtual tours, the campaign invites the chosen demographic to become involved with this message – “Point. Click. Change a child’s life.”
