Case Study
Summary
1 in 5 Western Australians face food insecurity and with the sharp increase in living costs, this number is predicted to rise. Food relief organisation, Foodbank WA desperately needed an increase in donations – at a time when empathy was running out.
Hunger Ghrelins was born – hunger hormone toys feeding hungry kids. This little box of playdough sat at the heart of an immersive story about hunger, hormones, and hope. A world that drove donations, activations, and conversations.
With a tiny media spend, our Hunger Ghrelins became the media and managed to raise enough money, during Foodbank WA’s Christmas Appeal, to provide over 1.5 million meals for hungry Western Australians.
