Brief Explanation

The objective was to provide affordable medication to Filipinos, while promoting the client Maynilad.

The Brief

The cost of medicine in the Philippines is higher by up to 70% compared to other countries in Asia. 55% of Filipinos can't afford medicines. The objective of the campaign was to be able to offer an alternative and more affordable means of medication, while promoting Maynilad and the benefit of the service it provides: clean water.

How the final design was conceived

Client came up with alternative medicine kits, containing tea bags of various natural ingredients proven to remedy common ailments. Just add water, and their healing power is unleashed.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Because the groups like World Health Organization don't monitor the rise or fall of cases of common ailments, results are impossible to get. The kit was covered, however, by media, online print and broadcast among them. Given away for free, the Maynilad medicine kit has reached thousands of Filipinos, teaching them that with things that can be found in any household, they can cure their ailments affordably. They just have to add clean water.
