The Brief in Brief

Our aim was to raise the level of donations and help Caritas serve more people. To increase the breadth and number of donors, against a backdrop of a cost-of-living crisis, whilst preserving the dignity of contributors, sensitively communicating their stories and respecting their right to move forward anonymously.

The full story

Caritas needed help fundraising for their work with Manchester's rough sleeping community. Previous advent campaigns were interview-led, but had little cut through, and meant stories remained online indefinitely when the lives of the people they support were being transformed.

The Bee is a symbol of Manchester, and the hive became an obvious motif for home. Building a narrative around real-life stories of service users, told through 3D bee characters, proved to be an engaging and effective solution, helping more than double donations, and attracting a new and larger audience of supporters.
