The ALS Association: Project Revoice
The ALS Association wanted to move beyond the viral success of the Ice Bucket Challenge to show deeper commitment to patient care. BWM Dentsu was tasked with finding a way to support those living with the disease, specifically addressing the loss of identity that comes with losing one's natural voice, targeting the global ALS community and potential donors.
Creative Idea
Cloned the voices of ALS patients using old recordings to restore their unique digital identity.
By cloning the voices of ALS patients using past recordings, the campaign restored their identity and dignity, turning a devastating symptom into a technological breakthrough that allowed them to speak in their own unique tone again.
