Overview

Execution

Our concept was to help people recognize each of their hearts as a valuable gift, not just a biological organ inside their body. The best way to deliver this message was by actually allowing people to get an opportunity to listen to their hearts, enabling them to share a miraculous moment with it. Therefore, we developed the 'Listen Device', which digitalizes the target's heartbeat into an MP3 while listening to one’s own heartbeat. Then, we combined the digital heartbeat with music and art, and saved it permanently on the website so that people could create a deeper bondage with their hearts.

Outcome

The ‘Listen’ campaign was the greatest success in the history of Korean health. The total number of participants increased 2700% compared to last year. Even with no particular advertising spent, over 20,000 people visited the website and more than 50,000 people visited the studio. During the campaign period, over 500 blogs and 40 different newspapers introduced our campaign. Also, 90% of the participants requested a health inspection. Due to the success, the government has promised financial support for the next campaign and a monument including the participant’s heartbeats will be kept in the ‘Heart of Seoul’, Nam Mountain.
