The Smith Family: Online Video Commercial

PURPOSE:  The Smith Family is one of Australia’s most respected charities. Their mission is to lift children from disadvantage via education. Their annual Winter Appeal is a key strategic fund and awareness raising event.

COMMUNITY:  the film needed to reach out to an online audience who were likely to miss the print and TV campaign.

BRIEF:  build awareness & inspire audience to share the film through social networks.

STORY: We used a combination of cute kids and celebrities to connect to the audience. We felt a fun and inspirational tone was more likely to be shared than the many heavy and depressing charity promos.

DELIVERY:  YouTube, email, conferences, fundraising events.

RESULTS:  2700 views on YouTube. Widespread acknowledgment throughout the organization and stakeholders.
