COUNTRY MUSIC TELEVISION - THE POWER OF ONE - US CREDITS Project: The power of one Client: Country Music Television Brief: Encourage people to be 'heroes' within their communities Creative agency: In-house Writers: Scott MacDonald, Michael Engleman Production company: Reginald Pike Toronto Director: Lena Beug Editor: Alison Gordon, Relish Toronto Audio post-production: Grayson Matthews Toronto Exposure: National TV, cinema, online
A US country music network has launched an ad campaign to encourage people to put their skills to use in the service of their local communities.
Called 'The power of one', the initiative comes from the Nashville-based Country Music Television and is part of an effort to mobilise 6.4 million volunteers and 100,000 volunteer leaders across the US over the next two years.
The commercials star a man dressed in Superman-like tights and cape. But instead of performing spectacular deeds, he is depicted reading to an elderly lady, teaching children to swim and helping an old man to repair a roof. Meanwhile, a voiceover points out that 'being a hero starts with the small things'.
The aim of the campaign is to drive people to a website where they can find out about volunteer opportunities within their own communities.
