Dawn saves wildlife
From a product you buy → to a brand you buy into
Dawn was already #1 and also the most expensive.
At shelf, price wins. Unless something matters more.
So we showed what no competitor could: proof that people could feel
For decades, Dawn dish soap had been used by wildlife rescuers to clean animals after oil spills. Not as a message—as method.
We didn’t invent a story. We gave it a voice.

MindCraft
To reach a new generation, we extended the idea into unexpected spaces.
Through a partnership with Overwolf, we brought Dawn’s mission into the gaming ecosystem—meeting audiences where they already spend time.
Stories of wildlife rescue appeared natively within gameplay, turning passive attention into active engagement.
We turned gameplay into participation.
Players built wildlife worlds in Minecraft, captured them through Outplayed, and shared them with their communities.
Every post triggered real-world impact—$5 donated by Dawn and Overwolf to support wildlife rescue.
Play became purpose.
LAUNCH EVENT
We teamed up with PR agency Citizen to honor those birds and marine mammals with a 3D exhibit that soared along the walls of New York City’s Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Station to visually tell the story of Dawn’s Wildlife legacy over the past 40 years.
