New poster picture and slogan: DKMS poster campaign launched
The brand new DKMS poster campaign “Mund auf gegen Blutkrebs. – Stäbchen rein, Spender sein.” [Open Up Against Blood Cancer – Get Swabbed and Be a Donor] is celebrating its debut: Starting Monday, October 29, 2012, DKMS German Bone Marrow Donor Center will be campaigning with large format posters throughout Germany for the simple and quick life-saving stem cell donor registration. In addition, the new poster campaign is being accompanied by two TV commercials and online banners.
“Mund auf gegen Blutkrebs” [Open Up Against Blood Cancer] is the new slogan of the DKMS poster campaign, which combined with a new poster picture aims to convey two ideas: On the one hand, the bright red lips and cotton swabs illustrate how simple and easy it is to register as a stem cell donor by swabbing the mucous membrane in the mouth with a swab. The appeal “Stäbchen rein, Spender sein [Get Swabbed and Be a Donor] is short and sweet and geared primarily to young people. And the message is: Get registered easily and quickly by opening up, inserting the swab and that’s just about it. On the other hand, the goal is to sensitize people to literally ‘open up’ and join forces to fight against blood cancer.
Starting October 29, 2012, the large format posters can be seen in 25 German cities at important transport hubs and on information screens in 150 train stations and commuter train and subway station platforms in Aachen, Berlin, Bonn, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Dresden, Duisburg, Erfurt, Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Halle (Saale), Hamburg, Hanover, Karlsruhe, Kiel, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich, Mainz, Mannheim, Nuremberg, Rostock, Saarbrücken and Stuttgart. Once again, the extensive campaign is being supported by Ströer Out-of-Home Media AG.

Furthermore, DKMS is changing its logo to “Die Spende deines Lebens“ [The Donation of Your Life] which is set to replace the old motto ”Jeder Einzelne zählt” [Every Single Person Counts] starting at the end of October 2012. As a result of this new and more personal approach, DKMS is making an even more direct appeal to new, potential stem cell donors.
