Description:
Every child dreams of becoming someone in life. Someone who might even change the world. For a child with cancer, simply reaching adulthood is enough. In Mexico, cancer is the leading cause of death among children aged 5 to 14. Every year, over 5 thousand new cases are reported, and only 56% of them are treated on time. Casa de la Amistad, the most important institution in Mexico helping children with cancer in the country, had to do something to encourage donations, the principal source of income the institution has to keep aiding children with this desease. However, Mexicans don't have the best experience when it comes to donating. We've been scammed in the past, and people usually don't donate because they don't know what they're donating to. So we decided to show people what they were donating to in real time, and with the help of our influencers, we managed to make a positive impact on children with cancer, making thousands of people feel part of their story.

We showcased the future in the present so that people could see in real time what they were donating to. In order to achieve a massive impact, we decided to execute the idea in a live podcast, set in a theatrical atmosphere and a dreamlike cinematic style that simulated being in a cancer-stricken child's dream. With morphing technology, we made an adult transform into a child in real time. The video was later published on various social media platforms, and within a span of two weeks, hundreds of influencers amplified and encouraged donations without receiving anything in return.

We leveraged the significant influence of Martha Debayle, one of Mexico's most important Key Opinion Leaders, to show in real time the destination of support from Casa de la Amistad donors. We showcased four personalities who will change the history of Mexico, and thanks to Martha's great credibility, many people believed it was true when she introduced the guests. However, upon discovering that they were actually future versions of children with cancer, they were moved and changed their perspective on donating.

We reached (millions of people) from different socio-economic backgrounds. Throughout the entire campaign, our engagement was (such), indicating that Mexicans are eager to support if given the right resources. We changed the perspective on donating, increasing donations by 90%. But most importantly, we ensured that thousands of children with cancer in Mexico have a future.
