Reklame for Alvor | Alzheimerforeningen

As a student I won ‘Reklame for Alvor’ - an industry contest where agencies compete to create the best campaign for a chosen charitable organisation. In this case it was The Danish Alzheimer's Association. The campaign is brought to life by voluntary work by professionals and is aired all over the country.

We were to create a campaign that tells a different story about dementia and the people it affects with issues like isolation and fear of prejudices from outsiders. The idea should embrace both the people with the disease and their relatives. By showing that 'what matters most still lives on' in the form of love and relationships, we show that there is a positive life after the diagnose filled with care and positivity - in contrast to the dark stories that are often told when it comes to dementia.

"I love you, but I cannot recognise you" 

"I am safe with you, but I don't remember why" 

 

"The essential persists"


 

THE JURY SAID

 

"There's this strong insight behind the campaign and a bold execution (...) Furthermore the campaign adresses the relatives directly without displaying the Alzheimer patients."

Lars Hancke, Mensch

 

"The young people have created a beautiful tagline with a clear Call to Action-message. The Alzheimer patients are real people who have 'just' lost a part of their memory. Accept them, understand them, there's plenty of humanity, warmth and  generosity left in spite of the disease. I'm proud that young creatives are capable of creating this spot on idea.”

Poul Mikkelsen, branding expert

 

“It communicates directly to the heart. It touches the Alzheimer patients feelings of being isolated. It's a very including, not excluding, communication, and we're very, very happy and thankful for the young people's work."

Heidi Sahlholdt, responsible for fundraising in The Danish Alzheimer's Association

 

 
 

FINAL CAMPAIGN

"I want to kiss you, but I don't remember who your are"

"I'm safe with you, but I don't remember if you're mine"

 

"I love you, but I don't remember who you are"
"I love talking to you, but I don't remember what we usually talk about"

 

 "I want to hug you, but I don't remember your name"

 

"The essential persists. Dementia complicates the everyday life. But the joy of the experiences and the feeling of presence with family and friends never dissapears."

 
 

TVC

Det vigtigste består. Alzheimerforeningen har netop lanceret en ny kampagne, som skal skabe mere åbenhed om en sygdom, som alt for ofte er omkranset af tabu og tab af relationer. Kampagnen vil i form af radiospots, tv-reklamer og trykte annoncer opfordre til at bryde isolationen og hjælpe mennesker med demens.

 
 
 

FACEBOOK STRATEGY

As a part of the process I developed a Facebook strategy for the association during the campaign period. This resulted in thousands of shares, likes, comments, debates and advice.
