Tell - a - Tale
What is an Ice bucket Challenge?
Why was it started?
Objective
Primary objective: To raise funds for finding
a cure of the disease
Secondary objective: Spread awareness
about ALS
Who started the challenge?
Patients Pete Frates, Pat Quinn, Anthony Senerchia and
their families believed this and they challenged themselves
to combat this degenerative and silent disease with
something light, fun and easy.
And to leverage the power of the social graph to make it
spread like wildfire. ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was born.
Campaign Strategy & Execution
The campaign rolled out slowly but strategically,
The challenge dared folks to dump a bucket of ice water over their heads, post the video
on Facebook, tag a friend to do the same & donate money if you want
The friends of the family accepted the challenge, then it spread to adjacent
communities, then new cities, then new countries, then athletes & celebrities etc.
The rest they say is history!
Campaign Performance
159
countries
participated
$220 million
raised
70 billion
video views
counted
3. 17 million
videos
created
More people
participated
than the Super
Bowl and
Oscars,
combined.
More money was
raised each day
than the annual
budget of the ALS
Association in
New York
So what is so special about this?
over 440 million people
viewed the videos with
no media spend
whatsoever.
over 50 political figures,
200 notable actors, 200
athletes, & 220
musicians have
participated
Google search for “ALS” showed awareness spike. Cancer was in
red line
Analysis of the campaign
Doing Good
feels good
The star of the
bunch Bill Gates
with 5 million
views fanned the
campaign more
The fact that it
was a challenge
Campaign highlights
• The fact that zero penny was spent but 220 million was raised is an
achievement in itself
• The ALS association has continued the campaign and still urge people
to take the challenge every August
• Participation of celebrities has given the campaign a boost
Campaign lowlights
• Not many know that it was done for a cause and had to donate some
money
• The campaign lost its message when it travelled from one country to
another and became more of a game people challenged for.
• Though the campaign received a good response for some time but it
could not sustain its hype.
Thank you 
