At CANNES LIONS FESTIVAL OF CREATIVITY
ALICE TONGE - Creative Director, shares the process that led to the creation of "We're the Superhumans":
“When we began work on the campaign, we came across a shocking statistic: 67% of people in the UK felt uncomfortable talking to a disabled person. We decided the marketing focus would be about making this (the 2016 Paraolympic Games) more than just a sporting event and use the opportunity to fundamentally change attitudes towards disability. We would do this by celebrating ability in its widest sense – from winning a gold medal, through to something as everyday as brushing one’s teeth.”
