Colon Cancer Coalition: #MissionToUranus

Colonoscopies can help detect cancer in its early stages and save lives. Unfortunately, there was a 65% drop in people getting screened due to the pandemic.

We needed a compelling, transformational creative strategy to dispel the stigma of the procedure among the target audience, adults 45+. A new NASA-funded study revealed that exposure to space radiation on long trips, like a voyage to Mars, could permanently harm astronauts’ intestines and lead to stomach and colon cancer.

We leaned heavily on the juvenile joke to invite and troll influencers on Twitter. Using social listening tools, #MissionToUranus got inserted in EVERY relevant conversation during March: Submarine Day, Live Long and Prosper Day, the launch of an Omega watch called Uranus, and The Oscars, to name a few.

Astellas Farma Brazil: Aquarium

Astellas Farma Brazil Print Ad - Aquarium

Aimed at urologists, the “Aquarius” campaign brings associations and metaphors to alert this medical class about how harmful it can be to not refer patients with suspicion or symptoms of prostate cancer to an oncologist.

Just like in an aquarium, trapping the patient in a treatment that doesn’t give them access to the most advanced drugs or therapies can make a better life or even survival impossible.

The messages of this campaign reinforce this idea, bring the necessary sense of urgency to the subject and supported by data, encourage urologists to act correctly in these cases.

Mother's Milk: Mother's Milk Donate Glass Bottle

The first breast milk donation bottle developed by specialists that avoids waste due to contamination.

1 ml of breast milk can save a premature baby’s life for up to 1 day. Did you know that up to 30% of breast milk donations are discarded due to contamination? This is mainly due to the use of inappropriate packaging.

With that in mind, Dr. Andrea Fernandes (Coordinator of the Human Milk Bank Reference Center of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo), Dr. Cinthia Calsinski (International Lactation Consultant), Dr. Moises Chencinski (Pediatrician) and blow glass designer Elvira Schuartz jointly designed and produced a package that combines science and practicality for collecting and donating breast milk.
