Execution
We found 300 volunteers who carpooled, coached, and mentored Jonathan throughout his life. Our content strategy featured those volunteers in online documentaries and a full length version in prime time TV.
We synchronized Facebook posts to our TV ads prompting downloads of the song featured in the spot. “We-All-Play-for-Canada” became the most downloaded song in Canada.
To strengthen grassroots positioning, stores engaged their communities, through in-store activities, social assets and the flyer program.
Don Cherry, the iconic hockey broadcaster, wore a team photo jacket on air. Soon, other celebrities joined the movement; “We-All-Play-for-Canada” became the rallying cry of a nation.
