The Brief

APREC is a French association led by Pr Victor Izrael, doing fundamental research against cancer. A few years ago, Pr. Victor Izrael helped personally Kylie Minogue to fight a breast cancer. APREC brief was to create a campaign that will help the association to: 1. Gain visibility internationally 2. Raise money for new research lab materials. In the absence of any media budget, we have opted for a strategy that was based 100% on social networks. In this regard, and with Kylie Minogue’s approval, we relied on her own media power to promote the campaign (over 5 million fans).

Creative Execution

We decide to go for auctions on eBay, because we thought that it will create a more important buzz if anyone could try to get a note of Kylie next song. With a starting price as low as 1€, we gave the opportunity to all her fans to take part in the campaign. The strength of this idea is to be innovative, social and engaging because as soon as you started to bid on a note you will follow the campaign until the end. This idea was also appropriate for APREC as it’s a very positive and doesn’t exclude anyone.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

The "One Note Against Cancer" idea is unique, because it is the first time in the world that each note of a song have been sold through a fundraising auction on eBay. Starting on Monday 14 April 2014, Internet users were able to visit the website onenoteagainstcancer.com where, through a fun-filled experience and an innovative web interface, they were invited to choose their note, put in a bid on one of them, and then follow how their bids were doing.
