Funding a new approach
CASE STUDY
DKMS is an international non-profit organisation dedicated to fight against blood cancer and blood disorders.
A recent scientific study showed that stem-cells from a family member, regardless of blood type, are very suitable to be used to create new healthy blood cells.
We took it upon ourselves to come up with ways to get people to donate money to fund this new treatment.
My role:
Concept and visualisation
The task at hand
The goal was to get people to empathise with blood cancer patients and activate them to donate money to fund these procedures.
Challenges
Though research we’ve come to know that:
Elder people donate offline, while younger people donate online.
Donations are mostly one off
People wait until last minute with their donations, only to donate money to a cause they know little about
People need to have empathy in order to take action
Solutions
By tapping into the daily struggle of being a patient with blood cancer, we came up with the following idea
This resulted in some vantage points to be used in the co-creation workshop with creatives from DKMS HQ and the Formery.
