A pro bono campaign for HeartKids has raised over $300,000 for the children’s heart health charity.
The campaign was supported across the industry, with Omnicom’s DDB Sydney partnering on creative, IPG Mediabrands’ Initiative on media, and research agency Kantar on effectiveness. 20 publishers participated as well, listed in full below.
Released in January this year, the “Things can change in a heartbeat” campaign depicts the truth of children affected by congenital heart disease (CHD). The spot contrasts the joy of bringing a child into the world with the fears parents with children with CHD face, a reality for one in 100 parents of Australian kids.
An industry-backed campaign for Heartkids has created dramatic results, raising $300,000 for the charity and creating an uplift in awareness and consideration to donate.
