Mel C’s Wardrobe Donation for Australian Red Cross
Mel C is donating three memorable outfits, including two tracksuits, to Australian Red Cross Shops as part of the Uber x Australian Red Cross Clothing Drive. The campaign gives the clothing drive a pop-culture hook by inviting Sporty Spice to part with pieces from her own wardrobe, while encouraging Australians to donate pre-loved clothes.
Why it worked: It piggybacked a one-day, Uber-powered doorstep collection with a celebrity sacrificing signature items, creating a timely, visual, and scarcity-driven hook.
The lesson: Consider pairing a limited-time doorstep collection with a famous figure giving up an iconic personal item to spark donations and coverage.
