CALM

Call For Help

Agency: DDB

Description

The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) – which is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK – launched a hard-hitting visual advertising campaign in partnership with adam&eveDDB and Ocean Outdoor.
The ‘Call For Help’ campaign demonstrates the number of calls answered by CALM daily and aims to remove the stigma of reaching out and calling for help, while encouraging people to visit the charity’s website and learn about how they can ensure no call goes unanswered.
Activated via a series of OOH digital displays and billboards across London, Manchester and Birmingham, connected live to CALM’s free and anonymous helpline, the campaign mirrors the incoming calls in real time, showcasing how many people are opening up and receiving support from CALM every day. By showing the number of calls being answered in real time throughout the duration of the campaign’s OOH execution, CALM’s aim is to not only engage with a wide audience, but to highlight CALM’s services and empower those in crisis to pick up the phone.
From 5pm on 16 April, a static ad linked to CALM’s helpline will be interrupted every time a call is answered, alerting passers-by with a loud ringtone to capture their attention. The screens will switch to a ‘call in progress’ phone screen, demonstrating in real time how many calls are being answered. It will also emphasise the immediacy with which people can be helped when they’re experiencing a difficult time.

This professional campaign titled 'Call For Help' was published in United Kingdom in April, 2019. It was created for the brand: CALM, by ad agency: DDB. This OOH Outdoor medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 3 media assets. It was submitted almost 5 years ago.
