If we can teach children that positive behaviour brings positive results, we are building a generation of hard-working, passionate and dedicated individuals. We worked with Manhattan to create some sweet citizens.
DEVELOPING A BRAND PURPOSE
Our client, a sweet manufacturer, asked us to develop a brand purpose, a reason to exist beyond profit. We conceptualised and implemented a campaign to educate children around nine principles of kindness, and then recognised and rewarded “Sweet Moments”.
We developed nine Manhattan principles of kindness, each represented by a Manhattan character performing an act of kindness. The kindness characters were translated into a series of gift-with-purchase collectable stickers, which could be found on the inside of a peel-and-reveal on-pack sticker.
Consumers also had the chance to win kindness character soft toys. For every toy won, three were donated to a child in need. The campaign was communicated through in store communication, social media and PR.
This initiative also partnered with the Pick n Pay School Club and their Hero Awards, a recognition programme that celebrates learners who have done great deeds for their school, environment or community. Teachers were given “How to be kind” posters and reward charts for the classrooms, and helped identify heroes in the school. These children were rewarded with a certificate and badges.
