Background

1 in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer at some point in their lives – in Germany alone over 70.000 new cases are reported per year – but it’s a highly curable disease if detected and treated early. The biggest problem is, most women don’t self-check their breasts on a regular basis, causing many tumors to grow unnoticed for weeks and months. In 2018 Pink Ribbon Germany – the charity dedicated to breast cancer awareness – looked for a solution to motivate women to self-check their breast more often. The main problem: most women are afraid to do something wrong while self-checking and feel uncomfortable getting naked just to search for potential knots or changes in their breast. The task was clear: find a way to make self-checking an easy-to-perform routine

Describe the creative idea (40% of vote)

At least once a day most women get naked to have shower. We used that insight to create: Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE. The Shower Gel and Body Lotion inspire women to self-check their breasts when they under the shower and right after. Turning a daily beauty routine into a life-saving routine. To show women how to self-check, we created unique icons: Steps 1-3 on the Shower Gel: Touch. Pat. Squeeze. Can be performed under the shower during the usual shower routine. They are followed by steps 4-6 on the Body Lotion: Compare. Move. Look. The last three steps should be performed after the shower while using the body lotion. In addition to the icon-guide the back side of the packs held in-depth descriptions on how to perform the six steps. Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE was created exclusively for Pink Ribbon Germany, using ecological, harm-free, vegan ingredients.

Describe the execution (40% of vote)

The brand was created from scratch, starting with the name: Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE. The design, including the unique icons and the whole packaging. Also, the ingredients were carefully chosen with the intention to create a harm-free product that is fun to use and that women love to have in their bath. To spread Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE, Pink Ribbon teamed up with a hotel chain, handing out a product set to every woman checking in, and cooperated with influential German and international celebrities to raise awareness and spread the message to their millions of followers. A website was created to give women more information about breast cancer, including a how-to video showing the products in use and the option to donate for Pink Ribbon. By giving women smartly designed body care products Pink Ribbon changed their body-care-routine into a life-saving-routine. One shower at a time.

List the results (20% of vote)

Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE was launched as an exclusive limited edition of 2000 sets. This first edition was handed out in cooperation with influential celebrities and a local hotel chain. Staring with these 2000 sets we created millions of impressions and sparked a conversation among women worldwide. The website was visited by an impressive number of women and many donated for Pink Ribbon’s cause. And Pink Ribbon found a sales-partner who has pledged to bring Pink Ribbon CARE WHILE YOU CARE back onto the shelf just in time for PinkTober 2019 (Oktober the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month) so that every woman in Germany can get their hands first onto the body care set and then on their breasts.
