D’une part, c’était l’une des premières fois que les québécois voyaient un lip dub; encore plus surprenant provenant d’une institution publique. D’autre part, la campagne de recrutement n’était que visible sur le web.
La couverture médiatique nationale et internationale fut incroyable, mais encore plus palpitant, l’hôpital a reçu un nombre record de CV.
Le journal La Presse vient de pondre un reportage sur l’impact de cette audacieuse campagne de recrutement.
La campagne ITS, orchestrée pour le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS), et en collaboration avec ses partenaires stratégiques Cartier Communication et Vizéum fait maintenant écho au Canada anglais.
This week we launched the second phase of the Internet campaign that we call ‘Often, there is nothing to see’ for the Ministry of Health.
The development process of this phase was one of the most intricate that we have done here at the agency. Actually it’s probably the most complex projects of my career! As far as I know, you can count on a single hand the number of times that this type of ad format has been executed in Canada.
This took over 50 hours of work by our media team, without counting all the hours of development and programming done by our technological partners ALT Productions and EyeBlaster.
“Eyeblaster was thrilled to collaborate with Espresso Media on its highly innovative awareness campaign to prevent STDs. The integration of live site content into the ad panel maximized the feeling of the page ‘falling down.’ This original effect was created using a custom script developed by Eyeblaster specifically for this campaign to stretch the panel to 100% of the page. The campaign, setting new standards for innovation and creativity in Canada, is particularly noteworthy due to the campaign’s visual impact that really can’t be missed. “
The execution was so elaborate for the team that at one point we even questioned the feasibility of the entire project. On several occasions we thought that our ideas were too ambitious, and that we would be better off finding a plan B.
It is with a huge sigh of relief that we proudly share the details of this new execution that will, without a doubt, surprise more than one! (See the demonstration video at the end of this post).
Have you ever wondered what a Chlamydia looks like? Curiosity. That is the base of the campaign orchestrated for the Ministry of Health by Cartier Communication and their media partners: Vizéum and Espresso Media.
Under the theme ‘Quite often, there is nothing to see’ efforts include posters, bus shelters, Internet, stands in several colleges, as well as tactical and viral events. Based on statistics such as ‘nine people out of 10 don’t know that they have an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease)’ the campaign wants to remind youth that ‘because you look safe’ is not a valuable argument for not using a condom.
ONLINE COMPONENT – FIRST PART
Some of you probably saw or heard of the first part of the web execution. Infopresse wrote an article on the subject last week. That’s without counting the lump of press coverage in different news & information mediums…in other words the campaign is generating a lot of chatter.

Une superbe exécution qui fait changement des trop nombreux lipdubs qui roulent en ce moment au Québec. Bravo les amis !
Selon les renseignements obtenus sur le site Lespublicistes.com, “cette publicité virale produite en stop-motion a pour objectif de rejoindre la population collégiale et «de leur illustrer l’existence du cheminement de carrière en communication marketing ainsi que de faire valoir la richesse de cette formation auprès des professionnels du milieu».
Pour vous partager quelques résultats, depuis le lancement de la campagne, en septembre 2009, la vidéo a été vue plus de 80 000 fois.
En quelques semaines l’hôpital a vu arriver 2 600 CV. “L’équivalent de ce qu’il avait reçu en près de six mois l’année dernière, qui était pourtant une année record”, affirmait en décembre le directeur général de l’hôpital, Michel Larivière.
Il semble maintenant que la campagne fasse écho à l’international: Grèce, Argentine, Suisse, Uruguay, Belgique, Hong Kong…
Cela fait près de 6 mois que nous avons lancé en collaboration avec Cartier Communication le lipdub de l’Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal.
