As the seasons change and we enter into the heart of autumn it reminds us of this campaign we created for Quaker Oats entitled "The Joy Of Warmth".
We were honoured to receive the award for Best TV Campaign, Pepsi Canada 2018.
The key campaign insight was centred around warmth as a necessary good, especially for children. Based on research, there are many health benefits (emotional, mental and physical) to being warm. However, for many Canadian families in-need, warm winter clothing is out of reach. We reinforced this through a study by the Angus Reid Institute revealing, “for one in five Canadian families, proper winter clothing has been a luxury they can’t afford.”
So we created an emotive story, told across many channels, that would show the positivity and happiness that can result from being warm and that a warm winter coat lets “kids be kids.” To bring the idea into the real world, we also partnered with Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada to help deliver the coats (and oatmeal) to families in need, coast-to-coast.
