100% of One Water’s profits go to funding water projects in the world’s most deprived areas. This gives them a clear USP in a saturated market (no pun intended). One came to Burn to generate awareness – and on a charity budget. An integrated campaign with lateral thinking was in order, to maximise exposure.
Insight sparked the core concept here. We recognised that if people knew just how heroic buying One Water is, they’d feel pretty good about themselves. So we developed the proposition: ‘Instant hero. Just Add Water’. And we set out to do the opposite of most charity campaigns. No guilt trips. No cash donations. Just the feel good factor.
Creative used stock photography with our hand-drawn additions, turning people into instant heroes. This was inexpensive and ‘home-spun’ but had great cut-through and established a distinctive identity across all campaign elements.
The campaign was truly 360°, consisting of cross track posters, radio sponsorship, experiential, digital posters, couponing, an on-pack promotion, ‘clean’ graffiti and even temporary tattoos became a medium! The fulcrum for all channels was a feature-rich microsite which utilised a number of creative ideas to stimulate social sharing.
Big results were achieved on a small budget.
