It's More Than Just a Meal

Winner in Media Partnership

Objectives

Drive urgency for Meals on Wheels America to a younger demographic to promote active involvement in volunteer recruitment.

Strategy and Execution

Our narrative strategy was to share a human, authentic story of two unexpected people coming together over a shared passion for Meals on Wheels. The Ad Council partnered with T Brand Studio, the content studio arm of The New York Times, to create content specifically for Facebook and Instagram. This was part of a Facebook Anthology partnership, which pairs brands and publishers to produce branded content for distribution on the social network. T Brand Studio produced a series of videos and Facebook donated the media which ran for 3 weeks during the holidays, to inspire a new wave of volunteers during a time when giving back is top of mind.
