Creative agency Impero’s first piece of campaign work for Christian Aid is launching on Good Friday, following the agency’s appointment at the end of 2021 after a competitive pitch process. The campaign, ‘United By Hope’, is the charity’s first brand campaign in five years and aims to increase relevance, consideration and support of Christian Aid, building empathy by focusing on the little things that connect us all regardless of our circumstances. To grow Christian Aid’s supporter base, an audience segmentation was developed with Eden Stanley, which found that while Christian Aid’s audience understood the root causes of poverty, talking about poverty sparked compassion but not action. In addition, it found that most of its audience struggled with the idea that life will get better for people in poverty. Building empathy was key to tackling this apathy. Impero used these insights and additional extensive research to develop a fresh new narrative for Christian Aid. The upcoming campaign celebrates those ‘little things’ that unite us as human beings, like sharing a meal together or playing with friends. The ‘United By Hope’ campaign will be launched on Good Friday via a television commercial on primetime TV, along with YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram ads. It will also be supported by a social engagement initiative that started on April 10th entitled ‘Share Hope’. Going live across Christian Aid’s social channels, ‘Share Hope’ encourages people to share messages and pictures of hope in the context of the current conflict in Ukraine, aiming to flood social media with support in these challenging times.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car has launched its first integrated European campaign by creative agency The Corner. Playing into the brand’s ‘Whatever the mission’ comms platform, the campaign demonstrates how Enterprise’s vehicle range, service ethos and local neighbourhood locations can help people of all types with their everyday missions. ‘Wheel of life’ is a warm, optimistic TV spot, shot by Riff Raff’s Ed Morris, that pans back elegantly through a typical neighbourhood to show how Enterprise, the world’s largest car rental company, sits at the heart of communities, and unlike other airport-based competitors, is part of the rhythm of everyday urban life. Complimentary OOH, print and radio support this overarching message, with photography by Sam Wright, whilst digital and social communicate the different parts of Enterprise’s B2C and B2B offering; like daily car and van rental, insurance replacement vehicles and complete fleet and mobility solutions, such as Enterprise Car Club, which is the largest of its kind in the UK. The campaign, which totals over 500 assets, will run in the UK, Germany, France and Spain throughout 2022 across TV, OOH, radio, print, digital, paid social and e-commerce.
