Last Laugh

IAPC’s Last Words campaign in 2016 created awareness for palliative care. But in India talking about death is taboo, so even the terminally ill, their doctors and families don’t talk about death, let alone palliative care. In this environment, the terminally ill performed stand-up comedy about death for their families, doctors and a paying audience to break this taboo - screened and trained by palliative care counselors and India’s best comedians. With < $10,000 media budget, these shows, and its recordings became our campaign resulting in > $3 million earned media.

Kids are Tougher than the Streets

This case is about the toughest people in one of the toughest warzones. They’re not soldiers, cops or gangsters. They’re children. And they make the tough choice to defiantly reject crime on their streets. Instead, they choose hope by joining a safe-haven called Off The Street Club. Our “Hope is Tougher” campaign raised the most money in the Club’s history – 20% more than previous years and enough to keep 3,000 kids off the streets. And it proved that thoughtful strategy and communications can make a difference in people’s lives.
