Challenge
China has the highest number of Alzheimer’s sufferers in the world, but it also has one of the lowest awareness and understanding levels of its symptoms, leading to people getting treatment too late. Robbing them of the most precious thing they have, their memories.
Awareness needed to be created, not just of the disease but also the symptoms.
Solution
mcgarrybowen Shanghai created the Fading Font - specially designed Chinese characters which had strokes faded away. This was meant to replicate just how Alzheimer’s would take away people’s memories piece by piece. Nearly 7,000 common Chinese characters were designed and to built into an applicable Chinese font library.
On World Alzheimer Disease Day, it was provided as a free tool for public to use and spread. As people used the font, not only did it create awareness but also, gave them a sense of what it would feel like to live with this disease.
Results
The Font has been downloaded and used over 130,000 times, and was the No.1 Hot topic on Sina Weibo. It achieved over 34,000,000 views, with over 100 brands and celebrities joining the campaign. Overall, we achieved a total reach of over 234,870,000 people.
