LOSEV: Laughing Switch
Laughing Switch is a donation campaign that created its own medium to reach millions. Throughout the world, comedy shows rely on the same laughter sound effects as a hint to underline the jokes. Instead of these familiar laughter sounds, Turkey's most popular radio shows used our very own sound effects.
Laughter sounds belong to children diagnosed with leukemia.
The outcome of this simple switch has been remarkable. A nationwide audience was invited to laugh along with children with leukemia and donate to LÖSEV by sending a simple Smiley Emoji to the SMS line.
The never been used "switch" became the most successful campaign for LÖSEV in recent years as donation rates rose more than %800. The public responded to the leukemia reality positively with conversation rates on social media raised by more than %450. As influencers and celebrities taking a stand and talking about leukemia, our voices reached to millions through TV and newspapers.
With almost no budget we had succeeded in creating a campaign and with a never been used switch, we laughed big and wide, so big that no mask could hide.
