Overview

Execution

The overall campaign’s strategy relied on the fact that the repetition is the main learning tool used for helping autistic children overcome their impaired social interaction and communication. That is why we asked some of the most important media channels – TV, radio, and press – to get involved. The idea: to repeat several times part of their usual message only to deliver the campaign message at the end: 'the parents of an autistic child repeat thousands of time a word until the child understand it'.
