There are over 1004 mountain gorillas in the world today thanks to the care, protection and dedication of the Gorilla Doctors. The work they do for gorillas is not only noble, it’s also helping us understand human health on a completely different level. That’s why we developed a campaign that creates a link between the health of our gorilla cousins and our own.
We utilized the mountain gorilla handprint to entice tourists with facts about these majestic creatures. This one is about their growing population and how their numbers are helping us understand our health in unimaginable ways.
This interactive billboard takes users on a journey to the jungles of the silverback gorillas. we see their homes, their families and even the Gorilla Doctors that help treat, protect and preserve their way of life. When the journey ends, viewers are asked for a small donation to help these doctors continue their good work.
23andMe subscribers are curious about their genetic makeup which presents the perfect opportunity to remind them that we share 98% of our DNA with gorillas. Through a donation card, each subscriber has an opportunity to not only support a good cause but also invest in the overall health and wellbeing of humanity.
Through a partnership with ZocDoc, an appointment scheduling tool, we created an alert designed to educate users about the Gorilla Doctors and the appointments that gorillas need to make in order to survive.
In the age of products made for humans, this parallel line designed for gorillas is meant to show the relationship that humans share with our primate cousins. All proceeds from this line go directly to the Gorilla Doctors.
