THE CHALLENGE

Winning the race against lung cancer

Lung cancer, the third leading cause of death in Spain, is a silent enemy. Its symptoms only manifest themselves in advanced and metastatic stages, when intervention becomes more difficult. For this reason, early detection is a crucial step in combating this challenge effectively. Oncosur's challenge is to shape an initiative that helps the population to detect this disease early. An early CT scan can save 80% of patients.

A bus against cancer

We faced a complex and unique challenge: to understand how to deploy a mobile unit on the streets to combat lung cancer, a disease with a strong negative stigma. This condition, in many cases self-inflicted, is exacerbated by the fact that 70% of people who start treatment decide not to complete it. In addition, it was important to find the right partners to fund the project. How many people know what a CT scanner is and how much it costs to build?

THE SOLUTION

Kilometers of life

We moved away from business KPIs to focus on new ones: putting a mobile unit on the road capable of assisting lung cancer patients.

What's playing on the radio of this bus?

Camarón de la Isla and Serrat. A song that Camarón could not finish because of lung cancer and that will be reconstructed by the AI.

We face the challenge with the conviction that change is possible. As part of the WPP group, we recognize our responsibility in solving a complex challenge that combines capabilities in creativity, traditional business, media and marketing.
