Together with the doctor, a reliable diagnosis is made, ensuring therapy at the earliest possible stage.

Agency Solution
Creative idea:
“The blind see more”: An exceptional sense of touch allows blind women to discover things that remain hidden to sighted people. This guiding idea is translated in an expressive and visually dominating typographic concept.
Brand relevance:
In Germany health insurance does not cover the costs of mammographies for women under 50. Therefore, the method offered by discovering hands plays a vital role in closing this gap.
Target group:
Women of all age groups requiring a breast cancer screening
Doctors
Blind women as potential tactile examiners (recruitment) Execution:
We show how an exceptional sense of touch allows blind women to discover things that remain hidden to sighted people. Using letters from the braille alphabet to complete the typography in the headline, we illustrate how blind and sighted people work together. This unconventional collaboration creates a revolutionary, diagnostic method to fight against breast cancer.
The visual identity addresses the target group with great sensitivity, awakening trust in the method. The trained blind women are depicted authentically, expressing their new self-confidence. The new terminology, tactilography underlines the medical tonality and complements standard examination methods, mammography and sonography.
Recruitment posters: (16 words)
The posters are unusual in targeting sighted people from the circle of acquaintances of the blind.
Design touchpoints: (15 words)
Print and digital media, doctors’ surgeries, hospitals and schools and trade fairs for the blind
Goal: (21 words)
discovering hands has entered the fight against breast cancer. That’s why it’s important to make this revolutionary diagnostic method universally known.
