130 for 1
Héma-Québec, a brand that’s well-known and appreciated in Quebec, wanted to launch an impactful campaign featuring real blood donors to promote the importance of blood donations in Black communities.
Telling it like it is, before it’s too late.
In Black communities, 1 in 10 people carries the gene for sickle cell anemia, a disease that’s often misunderstood and even taboo at times. It’s especially surprising to learn that treating a single person with the disease requires blood from an average of 130compatible donors. The key factor for compatibility is sharing a genetic background, so finding donors from Black communities is crucial to treat Black patients. However, only a third of this community gives blood, which is not enough to meet demand.
Our mission was to raise awareness about the importance of donating blood in these communities, launching a discussion with groups who are often reluctant to donate and putting a face on this disease.

Touching your heart, it’s in our blood.
The Tam-Tam\TBWA team developed an advertising campaign featuring 130 blood donors. Through carefully orchestrated staging, these heroes discovered what truly unites them.
The campaign video presents Ilanit, a young woman who suffers from sickle cell anemia, in a moving face-to-face encounter with 130 people from her community as she recalls that she requires 130 blood donations each year.
