campaign example.

Holland & Barrett wanted to inspire their audience to rethink their fitness routines during the summer and motivate them to move more, all while raising funds for Sport Relief through their partnership with Comic Relief.

solution.

We launched the ‘join the movement’ with Jill Scott, who led three fundraising challenges aimed at getting people moving and raising money for Sport Relief. Jill introduced the partnership with an impassioned speech about the power of sport to change lives. The campaign featured a series of challenge videos where Jill set different levels of difficulty, inviting participants to share their attempts on social.

Additionally, we created a ‘reacts’ video, capturing Jill’s unfiltered reactions to clips of people attempting the challenges. To drive donations, we encouraged people to buy PE bar’s in store or online, donate at the till and through social or via the website.
