"Rad Dads"

Finalist in PSA

Objectives

In partnership between The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), along with the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse and Ad Council, SoulPancake created a video series to encourage dads to play an active role in their children’s lives. The resulting content campaign was RAD DADS, a three-part video series that celebrates fathers and the big impact that comes from the small moments shared by dads and their kids. Created in partnership with Ad Council, the series showcases the personal, authentic accounts of being a dad: the joys, challenges, and the cherished moments.

Strategy and Execution

In order to bring the Fatherhood Involvement campaign to life SoulPancake reached out to real dads to share their stories of fatherhood and the moments that matter to them. The aim was to create sharable Father's Day content that encouraged dads to play an active role in their children’s lives.

Results

The RAD DADS series garnered more than 2.2 million views from over 2 million unique viewers, generated over 7 million media impressions, and received coverage from numerous press outlets. The corresponding social and influencer campaign, which featured custom content from SoulPancake, actor Justin Baldoni, and dad influencers Beleaf in Fatherhood, Brad Montague, Dad or Alive, and Dad and Buried, received over 5 million additional impressions, 30K social engagements, and over 7,900 shares.
