Innovative CampaignsThis year Donate Life America had the opportunity to partner with three award-winning ad agencies to develop innovative,targeted campaigns. The third, Your Name Saves – Leo Burnett Worldwide, launches fall 2016. For all of these campaigns,the creative talent and design fee for services were donated to DLA.Give Me a Heart – Ogilvy & Mather and InstagramOn Instagram, you give a “like” to a photo by tapping on a heart. Ogilvywanted Instagram users to make giving a heart on Instagram actually meangiving a heart. The Give Me a Heart campaign features 11 photos and storiesof people of all ages waiting for a heart transplant. Working directly withInstagram, we were able to access new functionality that linked each phototo RegisterMe.org allowing DLA to bring the registration opportunity directlyto the Instagram user.The campaign has registered donors in a younger demographic and hasincreased DLA’s Instagram followers. The campaign launch video has hadmillions of views across social media. Three of the heart candidates featured inthe campaign received heart transplants in the weeks following the campaignlaunch. A special thank you goes to Donate Life Texas for their support. TheGive Me a Heart campaign was recently awarded a Facebook Gold Awardat the Cannes Creative Festival. #GiveMeAHeartEven aCan Save a Life – The Martin AgencyAnyone can save a life. That is the premise behind DLA’s new campaign element to reach and register new organ, eye andtissue donors. Working with Thomas Jane, Will Arnett and Lyndsy Fonseca, DLA and The Martin Agency created an onlinevideo about a fictional character, Coleman F. Sweeney: World’s biggest a*hole in life and hero in death. The thought is thatanyone, even the world’s biggest a*hole, can become ahero through donation.This project began in response to low online registrationrates by young men, millennials. Young men are alsostatistically more likely to be eligible donors, and menmake up a majority of the national waiting list. Thecampaign video is designed to reach millennials—especially millennial men—by tapping into the currenttrend in entertainment of darker, edgier storytelling. Thecampaign video launched August 4, 2016, with launchpartners National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and SigmaPi Fraternity. #cansavealifeMore than50 millionviewsacross U.S. socialmedia & Web*National Donate Life Registry Activity*Before & After Campaign Launch*as of August 10, 2016# REGISTRATIONS/% AGE 20-34DAY% MALEAGE 20-34BEFORE14922%26%AFTER104052%56%% INCREASE698%236%215%Top Googlesearch inthe U.S.August 5, 20162016 ANNUAL UPDATE5

New Point of View Campaign Launched!The Point of View (PoV) Campaign replaces the Empowering TestimonialsCampaign and carries the tagline, Organ, eye and tissue donors are LIFEdonors. What can YOU make possible? The campaign shows the new lifemade possible through donation from the perspectives of six recipients.Public ResearchThe PoV Campaign is intended for those with positive or neutralattitudes on donation, but who have not yet registered. A nationwideonline survey of 800 of these individuals—200 each African American,Asian, Caucasian and Hispanic—was conducted by Brand Planning, LLCto evaluate various components and presentation options, with the goalof developing new multi-market materials that are the most informativeand will motivate the public to register.Remarkably, all four races/ethnicities as well as ages, genders, andeducation and income levels surveyed responded similarly. Thedepiction of what can be donated, statistics of those affected and thedonation process illustration ranked the highest for motivating content.The two most compelling statistics were that 8,000 people die each yearbecause the organs they need are not donated in time and that 120,000people are on the national waiting list. Respondents also asked for moreinformation on living donation. Research findings were central todevelopment of PoV Campaign materials.Campaign Materials & the Donate Life Print ShopPoV Campaign materials include: PSAs, brochures, rack cards, posters, print and Web ads, and exhibit panels. Next up willbe the development of a bilingual brochure and Spanish-language PSA video for use in the Hispanic community. The DonateLife Print Shop (dla.conquestgraphics.com) was launched in conjunction with the PoV Campaign to improve and modernizethe Donate Life Community’s printed materials ordering experience.Shovon, heart recipientAs an infant, doctors discovered that only one side of Shovon’s heart was functioning,and his heart cavity was on the wrong side of his chest. By age 10, he had undergonesix heart surgeries and had a pacemaker. His heart condition forced him to watchlife from the sidelines. Local paramedics visited his home so often that Shovonknew them by name. Despite the best efforts of his doctors, he was told that hewould need a heart transplant by the time he turned 21.At the age of only 16, he began sweating excessively, running out of breath easily andfeeling even more tired than usual. Shovon’s heart muscle was failing, and he needed atransplant to live. Fortunately, only three weeks after being placed on the national organtransplant waiting list, the perfect match was donated, and Shovon got his new heart.His newfound health and energy enabled him to finish high school and become a paramedic. His donor made it possiblefor him to help those in need, just like the paramedics that helped him as a child. Shovon honors the generosity of his donorby giving back and living each day to the fullest.2016 ANNUAL UPDATE7
