The Kindness Card Experiment / Havas NYC
SITUATION.
A group of anonymous philanthropists approached us with a significant challenge: transform New York City into a more compassionate and empathetic community.
SOLUTION. 
We initiated The Kindness Card Experiment to promote, incentivize, and propagate acts of kindness throughout New York City. Through this experiment, approximately 5,000 kindness cards were dispersed across the city's five boroughs, rewarding individuals observed performing acts of kindness. Each card carries a value of $10, which recipients can either retain for personal use or opt to donate to a charitable cause. Upon redemption, recipients are encouraged to pass the card along to the next individual they encounter demonstrating kindness, thus perpetuating the cycle of benevolent deeds.
SUCCESS.
We effectively implemented a thorough mobile campaign encompassing branding, visual system designs, web app development, AR Snap filters, and integrated digital/traditional Out-of-Home (OOH) marketing strategies. Our efforts culminated in the campaign being honored with the "Best Mobile Campaign" accolade at the 10th Annual Shorty Awards.
