How do you get young men interested in stem cell donation?

The Tobias Registry needed to attract young men

By tapping into Generation Z’s interests and trends on social channels, we have managed to get young men interested in the Tobias Registry. This is really good news, as there is a significant shortage of youth willing to donate their stem cells to seriously ill patients.

Challenge

The Tobias Registry is Sweden’s registry for stem cell donations. There is a shortage of young men in the registry, which can result in some patients not receiving the stem cell donation they need to survive. We were tasked with getting more guys to realize that they can save lives by sharing their stem cells.

Insight

What are stem cells anyway? Does it hurt to donate? The level of knowledge about stem cell donations is low among young men, and no one is talking about stem cells in their social circles. To make stem cell donation and the Tobias Registry relevant, we needed to create content that aligns with the trends and references young men themselves use and consume.

Solution

Knowing that the target audience engages in their social media channels to be entertained, we created always-on content that was both informative and engaging. Updated design, short films, and content approaches that pick up the latest trends in social channels have formed a consistent theme in the communication.

Our agile approach, where we have been quick to stop content that hasn’t worked (or modify existing material) and do more of what resonates with the target audience, has proven very successful and continuously provided us with new insights into how we can engage young men.

In addition to producing content for social media, Spoon helped the Tobias Registry with audience insights, strategy, content for events, and targeted campaigns.

Results

It is clear that we have succeeded in engaging young men with the Tobias Registry’s vital message. Since Spoon (in collaboration with Trickle) started the partnership, the engagement rate measured in CTR (how often a person has clicked on the ads on social media relative to how many times the ad has been shown) has increased by a full 20%. And interaction with the content measured by the number of clicks increased by a full 34%, compared to the corresponding period before the collaboration began.*

*Channels: Meta.
Time period: April-Dec 2024 vs April-Dec 2023
Target group: 18-33 years

"Together with Spoon, we dare to think and test new ideas while they help us understand an ever-changing target group. That they are also quick, unpretentious, and fun to collaborate with is certainly not a minus."

– Hannah Gustafson, Communications Manager, Tobias Registry
