People are not shocked by the wastefulness of burying organs that could save lives. It’s easier to be shocked by burying a luxury car. To help change that, a very famous and eccentric Brazilian millionaire, Count Chiquinho Scarpa, posted on his Facebook Page in September 2013 that he was planning to bury his half-million-dollar Bentley in the yard of his mansion, inspired by the Egyptian pharaohs who buried their treasures.
The impact of his announcement was huge. To prove that he wasn’t joking, five more Facebook posts followed during the week—even showing the Count himself in a bulldozer digging the grave in his yard. It shocked the whole country. People were revolted, and the media strongly criticized the Count’s decision, as expected, on every TV channel, radio station, magazine, newspaper and website in Brazil—it even made the headlines abroad.
But on the day of the burial—with all of Brazil’s media gathered to broadcast it live—after placing the car inside the grave, Scarpa interrupted the funeral and declared, “I won’t bury my car, but everybody thought it absurd. Absurd is what people do every day: bury their healthy organs. Nothing is more valuable.” The Count's last Facebook post revealed the stunt, and the National Organs Donation Campaign was launched.
Campaign Performance
With only six posts on Count Chiquinho Scarpa’s Facebook Page, the Bentley Burial campaign reached more than 172 million people on social networks alone, gained $22 million in earned media on TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and internet portals, and became Brazil’s #1 trending topic and #2 in the world.
Most important of all, organ donations increased by 31.5% in only one month. Even Count Chiquinho Scarpa ended up with great results: his number of Facebook fans increased by 120%, his Page experienced 179 times more interactions, and the virality of his posts increased 6,000% (from 11,600 to 711,000).
