CAMPAIGN SUMMARY
ORBIS are an international charity on a mission to eradicate curable blindness around the world.
They operate a modified DC-10 aircraft, which functions as a “flying eye hospital”, treating patients in developing countries. Volunteer pilots and doctors fly around the world giving sight-saving treatments to those who would otherwise live their lives in darkness.
In 2012 we were presented with the ultimate challenge. For 2 years running a communications strategy of empathy had helped ORBIS achieve exceptional growth in donations. We needed to repeat our success, this time with even greater urgency, to help ORBIS equip a new flying hospital.
Creativity is born of challenge and opportunity. We rose to the challenge, identified a unique opportunity and created an idea that surprised everyone, pushing donations to an all-time high of HK$ 2.9million (at the time of writing) and smashing 2011’s record by a staggering 55% against a depressed HK donation market.
