This is the agency‘s first campaign for Jet Li’s One Foundation after winning the account last March. Digital shop Rice 5 assisted with production duties.
“It's so meaningful for us to use our creativity to help people. I particularly love the idea of ‘sharing shoes’. It's so good that people can ‘share’ the walk in such a way. Unfortunately, we could not mange to include more celebrity shoes for bidding,” said Nick Lim, creative consultant for McCann Erickson Guangming Hong Kong.
“We have done some projects in the past for charity organisations, and because of their limited resources, they may only be able to get one or two celebrities to help with campaigns. But with Jet Li’s personal network in the showbiz industry, he could pull in many big celebrities like Zhang Yimou, Daniel Wu and Christy Chung,” he added.
Banner ads will run on Yahoo and Taobao, along with print ads across China and Hong Kong to attract interest from young netizens.
