MERCK CANADA
”LISTEN CLOSE”

We got to make another important public service spot with our friends at Cloudraker for MERCK’s latest lung cancer awareness campaign. Rooted in the insight that we don’t often think about breathing (until we do) “Deep Breath” is positioned to not take something as simple as breathing for granted, and a reminder to screen and test for lung cancer when symptoms present.

After decades of working agency side, we felt there was a better, more efficient way to get to great work. We call it “strategic storytelling”.

We abandon traditional agency models and practices in place of a narrative-led approach.

Stories are woven through every stage of the work, from our initial creative briefs, to ideation and co-creation. We believe in the power of storytelling as not just an output, but a methodology for writing the ending first.

Strategic storytelling taps into universal human experiences, emotions, and values, while also developing a clear, detailed and efficient way to streamline the work across all stages of a project. This approach allows us to reverse engineer budgets and timelines, ultimately maximizing the amount of creative deliverables over a calendar year and cadencing the content appropriately with our media and PR partners.
