Overview

Background

Cancer, the foremost factor that causes people to lose control over their lives, It can shatter all your plans.

It has been confirmed that HPV (Human Papillomavirus) can trigger cancers such as Cervical Cancer & Head and Neck Cancer.

It’s essential to promote the importance of HPV vaccination to the public.

Idea

A 3-episode mini-series called “The Life Bureau” corresponding to the 3 key states of love in life: “Young singles”, “Newly-weds”, and “New parents”. It is an absurd, but real-life drama, and delves into resonant themes: freedom, marriage, and parenthood.

In “Life Bureau”, there are 5 departments—“marriage,” “love,” “work,” “illness,” and “reincarnation”—which plan the lives of all human. Each department fights openly and secretly, ​playing with human‘s fate. ​ It is an absurd, but real-life drama, and makes “HPV” the most crucial plot twist.

The story seems like life is all planned out by destiny, but the truth is, the one who can change those plans is none other than yourself!

We want everyone to know that destiny is not set in stone. For the sake of the people and things you love, you cannot let disease control you.

Strategy

Engage in comprehensive communication on the HPV drama through various channels, including social media, news releases, and offline cinema brand. Meanwhile, leverage influencers and entertainment magazines to enrich the viewing perspectives to attract the attention, resonance, and discussion of the target audience, thereby strengthening the influence of the HPV issue.

Execution

Renowned celebrities Sonia Sui and Joseph Cheng, serving as HPV education ambassadors, star in a three-episode HPV drama to ignite discussions on social platforms. Next, leveraging influencers and diverse media perspectives (actors, professional drama critics, experience-sharing, healthcare/entertainment media), and interactive activities on the official website to enhance audience engagement and stimulate discussions. Meanwhile, collaborating with Ambassador Theatres to integrate into the audience's offline lives and broaden topic dissemination. Lastly, encouraging participation in an HPV quiz event to strengthen the last-mile.
