The Stanley Cup is the top prize in hockey, but Chevrolet has crafted a trophy that’s just as big to reward young Canadian hockey players for doing community service.
The carmaker worked with experiential agency Momentum Worldwide on a campaign to promote the seventh annual Good Deeds Cup, which launches today. The team that does the most good deeds will receive $100,000 to donate to the charity of their choice and will have their name engraved on the cup.
A 30-second film directed by Amy Becker-Burnett uses video game-style imagery to show youth earning points and filling up a trophy by helping out in a variety of small ways such as cleaning up a park, donating clothes and washing cars. The video will be broadcast on TV and shared across social media with the help of brand ambassadors and influencers.
More good deeds
For the creative, Momentum turned to eye-catching video game iconography to inspire a familiar feeling of healthy competition and excitement.
“We looked at all good deeds through the eyes of a child—full of color, energy, attitude and even hyperbole,” Momentum Worldwide Canada svp and executive creative director Patrice Pollack said in a statement. “Our hope is that we resonate with them on a much deeper level than ever before and, in turn, inspire thousands of good deeds.”
Team members enter the contest by submitting videos of their good deeds to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter and tagging @ChevroletCanada.
In previous years, the challenge was focused each team conducting a big charitable event together, such as running a community workshop, with Canadians voting for the winner. The change is designed to allow more kids to participate.
“In its six years, the Good Deeds Cup has seen more than a thousand good deeds conducted in towns and cities all over Canada,” Chevrolet Canada brand director James Hodge said in a statement. “This year, we’re flipping the script to challenge minor hockey teams to perform as many good deeds as possible to help their communities.
“We want to celebrate collective community action by making sure no good deed goes unnoticed, and inspire many more. Everyone’s contribution, no matter the size, fills the cup.”
