“Tears could potentially be used to detect breast cancer with up to 90% accuracy.”
DDB and Rialto Channel used print, online, PR and social media marketing to encourage women to register for a free film ticket to the Breast Cancer Screenings, hosted by Rialto Channel at Auckland’s Academy Cinema, and supported by the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.
Around 400 women had the opportunity to donate their tears, while watching the emotional rollercoaster that is the critically acclaimed romantic drama Brooklyn.
“We are proud of these awards,” says DDB chief creative officer Damon Stapleton, “They recognise a campaign that will potentially help millions of women around the world each year; helping to progress the valuable research that US company Ascendent Dx is doing in the area of breast cancer detection.”
Rialto Channel GM Roger Wylie said he’s thrilled with the ongoing recognition this work has received.
“At Rialto Channel we are firm believers that powerful stories change lives. This campaign shines a light on the power of an important story well told, and the awards recognise that.”
Ascendant DX is an American research company on the cutting-edge of breast cancer detection technology. They have discovered that tears could potentially be used to detect breast cancer with up to 90% accuracy.
