2019 Winner

The Terry Fox Foundation

Millions of Followers

Grip Limited

BronzeAToMiC Shift

The Terry Fox Foundation needed to convince younger Canadians about the importance of the cause that Terry Fox fought for – and how it continues to live on today.

Grip modernized the organization's message by taking archived footage of Fox during his famous marathon run, and combined it with a crowd cheering his name and the message, “0 Likes. 0 Posts. 0 Shares. Millions of Followers” – which acted as commentary on our social-media obsessed world.

The campaign also extended into a Canada-first collaboration with Square Technology, where people could tap their credit or debit card to donate to cancer via a digital board in Toronto.

The spot blew up, receiving over 48,000 likes, 16,000 shares, and 6.3 million impressions. And, most importantly, year-over-year online donations were up 45%.
