A Good Heart.
Greg Page is wiggling once again, this time for heart health, in partnership with Flora ProActiv.
Flora ProActiv, healthier alternative spread brand, chose to rerecord and film the 80s hit song ‘A Good Heart’ by Feargal Sharkey in partnership with We Love Jam, Jaen Collective, dentsu X and the dentsu content and partnerships team.
The music video acts as a symbolic anthem to remind Australians over 40 to check their cholesterol and determine if they have ‘a good heart’.
High cholesterol puts people at risk of heart disease. With one Australian having a heart attack or stroke every four minutes, the music video, which is four minutes long, serves as a timely reminder of the consequences of ignoring heart health.
The video is complemented by a media strategy placing Page at the centre of the conversation to share his personal heart story and why it is important for Australians to be more proactive about their heart health before it’s too late.
Phoebe Carre, creative solutions lead media at dentsu Australia said having Page agree to be the talent of the song was important.
"We knew not only would he bring strength in his recognition and singing capabilities, but he brought personal experience in his own heart health scare," said Carre.
"We have loved working on a campaign that aims to change behaviour and do good for both society and our client.”
Anita Hancock, head of marketing at Upfield, said Flora ProActiv helps to lower cholesterol, but few people know they have high levels of it.
"We hope the music video appeals to those who loved the original Feargal Sharkey version, relate to Greg’s heart health message and prompts them to have their cholesterol checked," said Hancock.
"From there it’s a matter of following the advice of their medical practitioner and making the simple switch to Flora ProActiv if their results are high.”
Page’s interview will be supported by a two-month campaign amplifying the ‘A Good Heart’ music video across YouTube and social.
The campaign will be further amplified with retail out-of-home advertising and activity in the Coles magazine and catalogue.
