SANE Mental Health Charity - Xmas Campaign
Christmas is filled with joyful imagery, but for many, it’s a time of quiet struggle.
While at Iris London, I developed a visual concept that became the foundation for SANE’s Christmas campaign strategy: a series of double sided wrapping papers. Bright and cheerful on the outside and unexpectedly vulnerable within, each design highlighted hidden emotional strain as the paper was torn open, delivering the line “You don’t always know what’s going on inside.”
Using the act of unwrapping and subverting typical glee festive imagery, the campaign raised powerful awareness around mental health at Christmas and encouraged greater compassion. It ran across direct mail, social media and PR, all driven by this core creative idea.
