The 1 Pledge
Sanofi launched 'The 1 Pledge' for Diabetes Awareness Month: a nationwide storytelling movement fronted by Usher (plus Robin Arzón and Adam Schefter) to share type 1 diabetes experiences, encourage screening via #ScreenforType1, run ads and Times Square activation, and direct people to The1Pledge.com.
Why it worked: It hijacked Super Bowl buzz with a personal-diagnosis reveal from the halftime headliner, converting celebrity heat into a clear screening CTA.
The lesson: Consider timing your ask to a cultural crescendo and pair it with a surprising first-person confession that leads to one measurable action.
