Overview

Background:

Every year, more than 10 million people are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. While the general public is aware of Alzheimer’s general, there is little awareness of the debilitating effects of one of its most pronounced symptoms: name confusion. The objective was to raise awareness about this symptom – one of the first the disease produces— in order to be vigilant and not dismiss it as if it were confusion like any other. Knowing how to identify this symptom is an incredibly important step toward yielding an early diagnosis, which gives people the tools to better manage the disease and provide optimal care for their loved ones much sooner in the process.

Describe the Impact:

In less than a week, this live activation campaign generated:

• • More than 179M earned media impressions (This is how we reached 3 times more people with our message than the inhabitants of the country as a whole)

• 98% positive sentiment (2% neutral)

• 400% increase in A.L.M.A.’s social media impressions

In the week following the match, A.L.M.A. He had more consultations on his website and his social networks than if we add up all the ones he had in the last year.

Write a short summary of the ambient work.

The fanaticism of the Argentine professional league in a Racing Club match, one of the biggest clubs and with the most fans in the country, provided A.L.M.A, a global organization with a mission to fight Alzheimer’s, with a high impact backdrop to simulate one of the biggest symptoms of the disease name confusion. We used matchday number 11 of the Argentinian professional soccer league so that before, during, and after the match our message made an impact not only with fans watching it in real-time but with all those who saw the highlights and conversations in the days that followed

Is there any cultural context that would help the jury understand how this work was perceived by people in the country where it ran?

Soccer in Argentina is the most important sport in the country, where millions of fans follow their clubs and the professional soccer league every Sunday where the matches are played, and also every day of the week on TV, streaming, radio programs, press, social networks, etc. The fanaticism for soccer is total, even more so being the last world champion in Qatar 2022 and having been chosen in that same soccer world cup as the best fans in the world. Also the best player, Lionel Messi, the Best Goalkeeper, Emiliano Martínez and the revelation player of the World Cup, Enzo Fernández. The fanaticism was already total, but after the World Cup, the passion increased 100% more.
