The IsThisOk? Campaign
Missing People have teamed up with Children In Need, NSPCC and Childline to launch IsThisOk?, a chatbot service aiming to provide support and reassurance for young people aged 13-18 who might be at risk of abuse or exploitation.
As part of our ongoing collaboration with Missing People, we were asked to support this service by creating the IsThisOk? brand and producing a set of brand guidelines, which we then used to design impactful campaign marketing material. This material would include outbound marketing collateral, social media assets, a YouTube pre-roll video and more.
The central mission of the IsThisOk? campaign is to provide support to as many vulnerable young people as possible, so our priority from the beginning was to ensure that we were considering the target audience at every turn.
User Research and Youth Feedback
We worked closely with the Missing People team to take full advantage of the user research sessions that they had planned.
Throughout the project, Missing People took our ideas directly to their user research groups for feedback, which was of massive help to our design team as these concepts evolved.
We also produced an initial benchmarking questionnaire, which was completed by each of Missing People’s research groups and circulated through Childline’s social channels.
Creation of the IsThisOk? Brand
IsThisOk? needed a distinctive and impactful brand which would catch the attention of 13-18 year olds.
We included the Missing People team wherever possible in the process of creating this brand, taking into account feedback from the main stakeholders and the young people themselves.
As a result of this ongoing feedback, we were able to create a strong brand for the IsThisOk? service, confident that the young people we were targeting had informed much of the creative process.
Distinctive, Targeted Marketing
Missing People wanted an adaptable and wide-reaching campaign which could be targeted at a diverse range of young people. In order to deliver this, we made sure to design a number of variations for each of our concepts, with differing colour schemes, copy and imagery.
The final campaign deliverables included posters, leaflets, bus stop billboards, social media assets, Snapchat geofilters and a 10 second Snapchat advert (below).
Campaign Video
Missing People identified YouTube as an exciting way to spread the word about IsThisOk?, and asked us to put a 30-60 second pre-roll video together for them. We agreed to do so pro-bono, and got to work on brainstorming and storyboarding straight away.
The final product – embedded at the top of this case study – is a slick and engaging marketing video with dynamic transitions and strong visuals.
