What a Cure Feels Like
Brand Activation Campaign

Launching a brand with heart

A cure for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is closer than ever.

We partnered with Breakthrough T1D (previously JDRF) to launch their bold new brand and connect their powerful mission with the T1D community. Co-created with people with lived experience of T1D, the campaign repositions their research as a chance to restore peace for millions around the world.

Challenge

Breakthrough T1D (previously JDRF) faced a common problem – low brand recognition. With the launch of a global rebrand, we needed to shift the brand identity to one of hope, momentum and optimism; from a source of information to a catalyst for transformation.

Raw Truth™

Societal truth

Misconceptions of T1D lead to harmful stigmas and lack of support.

Human truth

Living with T1D is an unrelenting 24/7 mental load.

Brand truth

As a world leader in research, the brand is perceived as a "source of information".

Media truth

Opportunity to connect the mission with more people on a more emotive level.

What a Cure Feels Like

Solution

‘What a cure feels like’ is a powerful and authentic portrayal of daily experiences of T1D – that both acknowledges the relentlessness of the condition and the optimism that science, community and Breakthrough T1D’s bold new brand strategy brings.

Activation

The film opens with sounds and scenes familiar to anyone living with T1D: the sharp beep of a glucose monitor, the snap of a finger prick test, the jarring ring of a 2am alarm.

As these sounds escalate, we feel the weight of T1D’s unrelenting presence. Until, gradually, the intensity fades to calm, painting a picture of the cure Breakthrough T1D is fighting to make possible.
