Wish TV

About This Project

Format: 5 x 60 second 2D animated TV PSAs

Campaign: Our client used these animations as part of their multimedia behaviour change campaign to direct people towards sexual health services and promote modern contraceptive use. The project formed part of the WISH programme to empower women in some of the world’s poorest regions to stay in education, get better jobs and plan when to have children. The five TV spots specifically address themes such as birth spacing, delayed childbirth and male engagement in family planning.

Broadcast: Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. The shorts were dubbed into multiple languages for localisation.
