I am the fight.

One in eight Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The Cure Foundation’s mission is to educate on prevention, invest in treatment and fund support for patients. Funding this mission meant increasing those donations… mission accomplished. National Denim Day is the Cure Foundation’s leading source of donations. In conjunction, we built a campaign that had strong messaging, for strong women. Our main goal was to transition from traditional marketing such as billboards and pamphlets to digital campaigns and online crowd funding.

Going Digital

We wanted to build a movement, an army of people to gather and share their support for the fight against Breast Cancer. We shifted online to give a platform for our warriors, and it worked. We sparked conversation and inspiration for groups participating, so they could go beyond what individuals were doing to the larger community.

As part of our digital campaign, we built Videos, Google Ads, Organic and Paid for Social and more. Through these campaigns we were able to generate 60,911 click-throughs, contributing to an increase in overall website traffic by 198%.

Social Highlights

• We took to social media, having two hashtags trending across Canada (#IAmTheFight & #NationalDenimDay).
• We were able to hand out ribbons on parliament, featuring Trudeau and Singh on social post – showing their support.
• Our Campaign Ambassadors shared their stories and sparked some conversation.
• Groups gathering in offices all across Canada were able to share how they were raising money and why it was important – our warriors hard at work.

Crowd Funding

By going digital, we were able to tap into a whole new demographic. And the results speak for themselves. There was nearly 4x as many active campaigns, generating an increase of more than 250% in donations, just from crowd funding.

YouTube

With stories that have this much heart, sometimes you just need to hear it from the front-lines. We put together footage from women telling their stories first-hand and were able to reach 4.7M million on YouTube.
