Implementation
The Idea:What if this time, you share the most valuable thing you have? Your blood. We created a Facebook App with which you can make an appointment to make a blood donation.How did we let people know about this? 5 celebrities and 5 unknown persons shared the first drops of blood. Their notifications became the catalyst for more than 4 million people to get to know the app. The campaign was amplified with TV, online videos, billboards and newspaper ads.

Outcome
The results:Blood donations increased by 200%.The app helped to create a blood donation culture.Using a social network created for sharing, we reached thousands of potential donors in a very short time.

Execution
It was an instant way to acknowledge people publicly for their donation.

Client Brief Or Objective
The Problem:In Mexico, there are only 6 blood donors a day. Not quite enough for a city with over 21 million people.Key insights:People are more likely to donate if they feel acknowledged for their contribution. Their search acknowledgement makes them share things on Facebook.
