Chemistry found the right formula

AUCKLAND, Tuesday: A campaign by Westhaven-based creative indie Chemistry has doubled donations for the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer Shave for a Cure campaign, Every Shave Matters.

Chemistry, which has been working with LBC for four years, helped produce a 50% increase in donations per individual shaving with the 2021 campaign, which was rolled out across TV, radio, OOH, print, digital, and social media.

“The results show how truly powerful dynamic creative and user-generated style content can be when it comes to building a community of fundraisers both online and offline,” says Chemistry account manager Theo Larmer-Cottle.

Running from February until April, Every Shave Matters raised $ 435,000 for Kiwis living with leukaemia and blood cancers.

“The campaign combined video, shot in previous years for LBC, with user-generated content from individual shavees.”

The campaign combined video, shot in previous years for LBC, with user-generated content from individual shavees to recognise that every shave is important and contributes to the overall cause.

User-generated video was responsible for 75% of all landing page views during this time.

“It was important to us that the call to fundraise connected emotionally while still keeping the fundraising process simple and we’re thrilled Chemistry was able to transform this brief into truly compelling creative which has achieved excellent results for the cause,” said Faye Holahan, head of marketing & fundraising for LBC.
