Brief Explanation

Through AHON, print ads gave exposure for the advertisers, but at the same time funded the building of new homes for Filipino families.

The Brief

On September 26, 2009, Typhoon Ondoy struck Manila, Philippines bringing a month's worth of rainfall in 6 hours. 25,259 Filipino families lost their homes. There is an urgent need to help them rebuild their lives.

How the final design was conceived

We collaborated with the entire Philippine advertising and media industries to get the country's biggest advertisers to donate the cost of their TV ad placement to the Philippine Red Cross. We called it PROJECT AHON, from the Filipino word "ahon" which means "to rise out of the water" or "to recover from a difficult situation".

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

In just 8 weeks, AHON was able to raise 4,233,943 pesos which could fund the building of 84 new homes. The project is still being carried out today as the Philippines strives to recover from the damages made by Typhoon Ondoy.
