Cancer Research UK ‘Every Moment Counts’

Cancer Research UK   together with agency partner AMV BBDO, have launched an online platform ‘Every Moment Counts’ to  engage with the public and use survivors’ experiences to communicate the urgency of beating cancer sooner.  

 
The platform houses a crowd-sourced gallery of images (cruk.org/moments) where cancer survivors are being asked to identify moments in their life that matter to them.  This website alongside a film entitled ‘Moments’ taps into the insight that those that have been touched by cancer value time in a more heightened manner and cherish even the smallest of moments. Cancer survivors see the importance of little moments the rest of us often take for granted. 

The'Moments' film was shot by documentary film-maker, Finn McGough. This beautifully crafted short film captures the emotion of the unique moment each cancer survivor describes, along with their authentic observations about what it means to them. Viewers are then encouraged to submit their own moments to the ‘Every Moment Counts’ site (cruk.org/moments). 

 
The two minute ‘Moments’ film went live on cruk.org/moments on 30th September, and cut downs of the film are due to go live on various owned and paid media sites including YouTube, Huffington Post, Xasis as well as Cancer Research UK’s Facebook and Twitter pages. Cancer Research UK is also running a partnership with The Times to celebrate cancer survivor's moments.
