In 8 weeks, the interactive video was forwarded over 57,000 times and we raised a total of USD11,400. 48.2% clicked through to the UNIFEM site via their mobile phones and unique visits increased by 34.6%. ROI is inapplicable as the work was pro bono.
Empowerment is what UNIFEM stands for. Hence, when designing our solution, we focused on empowering the target, instead of chastising them. We created a piece of work that allowed the target to experience how it easy it is to help as well as how satisfying it feels to help.
We needed to start a conversation with people who believed they had little to offer. As such, we reached out on a medium that even the busiest people could not avoid – their mobile phones. We created an interactive video that allowed our target audience to experience how little it takes to help. We projected 34% will click through to UNIFEM’s website via the embedded link, 24% will share the video with people on their phonebooks and 11% will make a donation.
