Cherry Tiger was challenged to ‘beat the banker’ pack to recruit new cash donors. The current pack used a questionnaire about the reader’s lung health as a mechanism to support a donation ask. Our task wasn’t to completely discard a proven tactic but to look at ways of improving response from a solid base.

The nature of the cold audience meant that our response needed to be focussed on the reader – it had to feel relevant to them, whist still inspiring support. Our challenger pack introduced the brand much more strongly to take advantage of design elements previously being under-utilised. Strong use of imagery also put real people at the heart of the communication, making it more relevant and engaging to the reader.
