Background
Nine out of ten people with disabilities are not born with disabilities but rather develop a disability later in life. Automobile accidents are one of the big main causes for these types of disabilities. The brand offers new mobility to return the precise time they lost due to their car accident.
Idea
All parents in worldwide remember their child’s first steps as a heart-pounding moment. For parents whose children can no longer walk due to a car accident, this memory may no longer be quite as happy, so the brand decided to offer these people and their families a chance at “Second First Steps”.
Strategy
We selected a disabled national archer, who is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a car accident, and his parents as the first participants of the project. The moment they experienced the Second First Steps was filmed as a documentary film instead of a pre-planned advertisement.
Execution
Along with a documentary film (which was broadcast digitally) aimed at a broad target base. Additionally, OOH Campaign was conducted by showing a pictogram in a handicap sign taking “new first steps”, and seeking others from the general public who may become future participants of the project.
Outcome
The film gained the support of people and the media around the world. There was an overwhelming global response to Second First Steps. As of June 24, the number of video views on YouTube reached 42,436,794. In addition, this film inspired many others at London’s Piccadilly Circus.
