Insights, Strategy & the Idea
Alcoholics are pursued around the clock by their addiction. The Blue Cross, a non-profit organization, helps alcoholics and their relatives.
In order to show the enormous daily stress of an alcoholic, 60 different radio spots were produced: each spot corresponded to a specific time within a 24-hour time frame and aired at that same time.
Creative Execution
The 60 spots aired during a 24-hour time period enabled the listener to experience a day in the life of an alcoholic in real time.
Results and Effectiveness
The idea was picked up and discussed by various media. The spots attracted additional free PR and coverage for Blue Cross
