The launching day was April 2nd – World Autism Day. The top 3 Romanian TV stations, some of the most important radio stations and newspapers got involved. They repeated part of their usual message. The explanation was delivered after the repetition. The next day social media and online went crazy: the campaign message became the most talked-about subject on Facebook, blogs and news feeds. The following days, the message was taken further by 7 major football teams who played live on TV, music bands and famous actresses; even a chopper academy supported our campaign.

Insight: the parents of an autistic child are as deeply affected by the developmental disorder of the child as the child itself. The media strategy relied on the fact that the repetition is the main learning tool used for helping them to overcome their impaired social interaction and communication. That is why we asked the most important media channels – TV, radio, and press – to get involved.

The idea: to repeat several times part of their usual message only to deliver the campaign message at the end: “the parents of an autistic child repeat thousands of time a word until the child understand it”.
