Solution
To highlight the difficulties children with dyslexia face every day, dentsu mcgarrybowen crafted a website and a campaign based on popular children’s books to give people a sense of what it’s like to live with this learning disability. The immersive, educational experience demonstrates what it’s like to live with dyslexia with each topic presenting a different reading challenge to educate Canadians about the cause and, most importantly, build empathy. The campaign also re-wrote three popular children’s tales: Hansel and Gretel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Three Little Pigs. The retellings were featured in print, OOH, social in addition to reimagining the tales as audio content to drive traffic to the website.
