The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has launched a new brand campaign, 'This is Science', to inspire greater public support for its life saving research. The campaign, created by Saatchi & Saatchi, tells the real stories of people who are only alive today thanks to the public's donations powering BHF medical breakthroughs that have transformed science fiction into reality. With someone dying from heart and circulatory disease every three minutes in the UK, the campaign spotlights the charity's need for greater public support if it is to continue to make scientific breakthroughs that will save and improve lives. The campaign launches with a film, voiced by Peaky Blinder’s Cillian Murphy, which premiers on TV and in cinemas from 29 December. It opens with a young boy, with a scar on his chest, getting ready for school. The voiceover reveals that, ‘he was a scientific hypotheses’, as the viewer sees a CGI visual of the 3D printed heart that was used to guide his surgery. The ad then shows a man in his 60s in a forest, with the voiceover explaining ‘he was a ground-breaking innovation’, which is visualised as an artery being widened by a stent. Finally, we see a teenage girl playing football, before she collapses suddenly. The voiceover explains that the ‘breakthrough that could cure her is closer than ever’. The ad closes with Cillian saying that, ‘With our research, we can keep saving lives like hers. Donate now to turn Science Fiction into Reality’. Saatchi & Saatchi collaborated with director Ben Strebel through Biscuit Filmworks and MPC to bring the BHF’s mission to life with the film.
