Latest Project
UNICEF
An online social networking campaign tool supporting UNICEF’s clean water campaign. UNICEF was looking to increase awareness and participation among new audiences, in this case young people. Rechord suggested a Facebook application and Facebook advertising campaign. The result was that almost X% of Make a Stink users had no previous contact with UNICEF meaning that the objective had been achieved.

Action Medical Research (AMR) is one of the UK's leading health campaigning charity. Rechord was asked by AMR to design and build a campaign website to support the latest phase in their ongoing Touching Tiny Lives Campaign. The aim of the campaign is to put pressure on the government to commit to doubling funding into research into the causes of premature birth. Campaign supporters can express their support through a hand or footprint on a virtual wall, and the website features a map which indicates which MPs have pledged their support to the campaign.
