Challenge

As the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma is also one of the most preventable diseases. A majority of women do not take adequate and consistent precautions by using sunscreen on a regular basis.

Action

On behalf of L’Oréal Paris, TogoRun developed a creative platform — It’s THAT Worth It™ — to link the importance of using sunscreen to the “Because You’re Worth It” L’Oréal Paris tagline, and drive a call-to-action that elevates sunscreen use to a life-saving action. The team hosted a series of celebrity broadcast and print PSAs, urging consumers to lend their social voice by joining the It’s THAT Worth It™ Thunderclap. The team also conducted outreach to 500+ print, broadcast and online news editors; hosted two media events (NYC & Miami) where experts provided information on this disease and how women of all skin tones can protect themselves.
