Iraq Radio PSA

As the violence in Iraq escalated, it was important for CARE to assure donors that the organization was hard at work helping the innocent victims of the conflict. This radio PSA relies on strong sound effects and a dramatic read to convey the urgency of donations to CARE to help it continue its work in the Middle East.

Deliverables

Enlgish and French 30-second Television Commercials, English and French Radio Commercials, English and French Newspaper Print Ads.

Challenge

To attract donors, and make a very gentle statement about the conflict in Iraq while continuing to position CARE neutrally in an extremely volatile political situation.

Strategies

Increase brand confidence and speak directly to the experience and long-term presence of the organization; Convey CARE’s non-political stance; Respect the need to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of CARE workers already in Iraq.

Tools

HyperActive developed, produced and deployed an English and French national print, radio, and television PSA campaign that drew upon a seldom-used icon of CARE, the humble cardboard box known as the “CARE Package”, as a strategy that would attract new donors by re-linking them to the brand promise.

Results

Radio and TV spots aired continuously during a two-month period, and are still airing in Quebec more than a year after their distribution, continuing to position CARE Canada as a responsive organization. HyperActive proudly continues to work with CARE Canada in a major communications agency function on a number of international projects.
