Macmillan's warriors stir creatives to donate TV award
Compassion is pretty much a byword for Macmillan Cancer Support professionals. Ferociousness, not so much. Changing this perception was the task the charity and agency AMV BBDO set themselves with their latest TV ad, ‘Whatever it takes’, winning the January/February Thinkboxes.
The ad saw success almost immediately after it was shown on TV, attracting increased donations and positive reception from people living with cancer and Macmillan’s cancer support professionals.
