Heart-broken: radio station’s ad breaks interrupted by cardiac charity

The British Heart Foundation and PHD are abruptly interrupting the ad breaks on Heart Radio to raise awareness of the charity’s vital research.

The heartstopping campaign sees a day’s ads for Sainsbury’s, Admiral Insurance, Dunelm and more unexpectedly make way for the unmistakable sound of a beeping heart monitor that eventually flatlines.

“Genetic cardiomyopathies are unseen killers. Every week in the UK, 12 people under the age of 35 die of a sudden cardiac arrest, often caused by one of these inherited heart muscle diseases,” said Claire Sadler, chief marketing and fundraising officer at the British Heart Foundation.

The British Heart Foundation’s audio ad will interrupt Heart Radio / PHD Media

“The partnership that PHD and Global have created for us is the perfect blend of message and medium that will grab attention and allow an important message to be delivered in an impactful, unexpected way at a national scale.”

In addition to PHD securing the participation of other brands across its client base, media and entertainment group Global also worked with Goodstuff Communications to secure advertisers to take part in the disruptive project.

“There are some great ideas that, on paper, look too difficult to pull off. This could have been one of them, but we’ve had the delight of working with a client and a media partner that aren’t fazed by making difficult things happen,” added Claire Bullock, business director at PHD.

“We’re looking forward to hearing weeks of hard work and collaboration come to life and grab listeners’ attention across the UK.”

Lovehoney produces how-to guide for turning off Google SafeSearch to access site

UK sexual wellness brand Lovehoney has created an instructional guide to raise awareness of how it can be hidden by Google’s SafeSearch. The SafeSearch feature, when turned on, prevents Google searches from returning ‘explicit’ results, but the brand argues this is being implemented inconsistently. For example, organic results and paid ads for the Lovehoney site – which contains actual sexual wellness advice – are blocked, while its products still show up on the sites of other retailers. As part of the awareness campaign, Lovehoney has unveiled an animated video guide with the aim to help those ‘suffering from SafeSearch’ (symptoms of which include suppressed sexual happiness). The guide walks consenting adults through the process of turning SafeSearch off, in turn showing them how to find Lovehoney without any issues. Lovehoney has also created an advice page with additional information on SafeSearch, as well as a step-by-step guide on switching it off. Lovehoney stated that it ...

Mercedes distances itself from environmental ads as it’s called out for greenwashing

Mercedes-Benz has claimed a campaign to promote its electric car range was not approved to run globally after it was pilloried and parodied by sustainability platform WhereFrom, which has accused the company of greenwashing. The campaign at the heart of the confusion (and controversy) was created by Leo Burnett Mexico. It consists of a series of posters featuring the Mercedes logo over close-up natural images and the slogan ’Nature or Nothing’. It quickly gained attention across social media and drew criticism for the claims of sustainability when Mercedes’s owner Daimler is currently facing legal action from climate groups in Germany over its environmental impact. Amid this backlash, sustainability-focused consumer review platform WhereFrom, in collaboration with the creative agency 10 Days, hijacked the campaign and replaced the original images with ones of fire, drought and famine. The copy was updated to read ’Climate change. It’s already here.’ However, the automake...
