Agencies Marcus Thomas and Hello have launched a pro bono campaign for Lifebanc, a nonprofit organ and tissue recovery organization marking its 35th anniversary. The TV spots take a serious, emotional tone as they follow people whose lives were saved due to organ donations. Each person reads his or her would-be obituary. Reports of their demise were inaccurate thanks to the generosity of organ donors.
Titled “Jacques,” this spot introduces us to a man whose life was saved by a liver transplant. He indeed lived to read his premature obituary.
Paul Sobota served as director/DP via production house TRG Multimedia.
