It’s hard to imagine what kids with cleft condition are going through, Unless they live through it themselves. “Donate Your Face” turned people’s faces into those children with cleft condition, Giving the public an intuitive perception of the unfairness and pressure those kids could face, To raise awareness and provoke thinking of this disease.
We created an interactive page on WeChat and invited consumers to upload their profile pictures. We used facial recognition technology to capture unique features of each users, AI algorithm to generate their simulated childhood photos with cleft condition then published them on social media. On March 25, 2018, one week before World Health Day, we launched the campaign on WeChat, China's largest social networking platform. In order to stir up a buzz, we invited public figures like the snooker world champion Ding Junhui, well-known entrepreneur Ren Zhiqiang, Yu Hai from Chinese National Football Team, and the Olympic badminton champion Li Xuerui etc. to participate, so that more people would see our actions could actually bring significant changes to children suffered from CLEFT CONDITION and that we could help them achieve more potentials.
The campaign received a strong response, with a total of 23 million reaches. More than 70,000 people participated in “donating” faces the first day it was launched, and got shared 25, 000 times on social media platforms ,standing up for children with cleft condition through their actions .More than 56,000 people donatedhelp children from over 160 of poor familie to receive facial reconstruction surgeries.
In China, more than 1 billion mobile users are active on the largest social media platform-WeChat. They are enthusiastically sharing their best sides online, and it can be illustrated by the popularity of “beauty cameras” amongst younger generations. Meanwhile, those from Tier 1 cities show more social engagement than those not, and they are extremely addicted to mobile devices. Wechat in this context, can encourage thinkings and trigger actions in public by using big data labels to launch targeted advertising,as well as generating hot topics through the huge contrast created in its visuals.
