#Movember #Marketing 2015
 |
| Marketing Week |
The hairiest month of the year is almost here. Love them or hate them, without fail November sees a barrage of fuzzy upper lips as men everywhere unite in their moustache growing abilities. It's all for a good cause, of course - raising funds for men's health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer.
The charity has been hugely popular - having raised £346m since 2003 with over 4m 'Mo Bros and Mo Sistas' - so to keep the momentum going the organisation has stepped up its online presence.
The charity has released a new campaign that includes three videos proving that you're a better you
with a moustache. The executive creative director at LA agency Sid Lee said: “We went back in history and realized that the greatest achievements of mankind have been achieved by men with Mo’s. So, with one, you’re more likely to do something extraordinary.”
Along with the new Youtube videos, Movember have recruited creative agency MATTA to implement digital advertising this year. This includes a new campaign called MOVE that aims to get men more physically active during the month and to continue it hereafter. The charity says regular exercise can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer up to 50%, which means that spurring activity is a perfect way to better men's health.
