Ogilvy Mumbai and Philips spread the breast self examination message with the help of husbands

Every year in India 1,00,000 women are detected with breast cancer. But in most cases delay in detection leads to either loss of a breast or life. Awareness about basic detection techniques like breast self-examination can help in early detection and improve the survival rate by up to 90%.
The challenge for Ogilvy Mumbai was to make self-breast examination an important part of a woman’s schedule. So they reached out to the husbands to join in and spread the word to their wives. Husbands were asked to give up their couches for 10 minutes once a month and do one chore their wife does and instead ask her to follow breast self-examination! The film is a part of an integrated social awareness campaign.

Nice….i think.
Cinfused me as to why they picked a deaf couple for this….seemed to add another layer unnecessarily.
All in all, a way better piece than getting facebook and twitter to change their logos to hands holding tits.
