Description
Cadbury Dairy Milk believes there’s generosity in everyone.
This was how we activated the innate generosity in people to help thousands of families survive the pandemic in Malaysia.
In July 2021, after more than a year of repeated lockdowns, thousands of Malaysians were left without work, money, and food. White flags started appearing outside people’s homes, indicating they needed food or assistance.
As white flags became a symbol for those who needed help, we created flags in Cadbury Dairy Milk’s iconic shade of purple for those who wanted to help.
We distributed them on-ground and in supermarkets so people could fly them outside their homes to signal they could donate.
For those without a physical flag, they could also pin their location with a virtual purple flag on our website.
Donations were then collected from the households with purple flags, and passed on to needy families with white flags.
The campaign made Malaysians show their true colours. With zero media spending, we reached over 260 million people. Thousands flew the purple flag and came forward to help, with over 600% increase in donations. 2,078 families flying the white flag received aid.
In a time when white flags symbolised desperation and distress, we turned purple into a colour that symbolised generosity. Proving that even in a lockdown, generosity can be found.
