A campaign with balls

We helped Macmillan spark real-time conversations around testicular cancer. From brief to delivery in 10 days, our Wimbledon-timed campaign hit 1.2M views, 46x clicks, and 2 awards - proving that sharp ideas and smart timing deliver big impact on a budget.

Context

Macmillan Cancer Support isn't just about raising awareness, it’s about driving real change. For two years, we teamed up with them to create bold, story-driven social content that put real, human voices front and centre.

Standing out and cutting through the noise, while remeaining timely and sensitive, was the main challenge - but doing this on an extremely tight budget was key. How could we leverage trendning moments to capture the imagination and attention of the public?

Solution

We crafted a dynamic campaign set during Wimbledon, leveraging real-time events and news stories to spark conversation and drive awareness around testicular cancer. The result was a bold content strategy that felt timely and engaging.

Results

With a promo budget under £1k and just 10 days from brief to delivery, the campaign exploded with 1.2 million views, generated 46x the average post clicks and snapped up two industry awards – a clear testament that boundary-pushing campaigns deliver results.

"The result speaks for itself! Freak turned a simple insight into an incredibly impactful creative idea. They then implemented this within a very limited budget and delivered a campaign that punched well above it weight, as the awards show. I can't talk highly enough of them!"
Alex Betti, Macmillan Cancer Support
