    LG rallies youth to step up with ‘Life’s Good When Life’s Shared’ campaign

    MUMBAI: LG Electronics India has turned up the volume on social responsibility with its latest campaign, ‘Life’s Good When Life’s Shared’. The company has launched a compelling video urging young people to step up and embrace the life-saving power of blood donation. In a world where hashtags trend and causes go viral, LG is bringing an important message to the forefront—your small act of kindness can mean the world to someone in need.

    The campaign video captures the energy and optimism of youth, painting a picture of camaraderie and selflessness. It highlights how donating blood is not just an individual act but a community-driven movement that saves countless lives. Because nothing says ‘I care’ better than giving a literal part of yourself to help another.

    Featuring today’s socially conscious generation, the video opens with a powerful call to action, emphasising the vital role of blood donation in fostering community spirit. Through engaging visuals and a narrative that pulls at the heartstrings, it showcases how small acts of kindness can transform lives. The campaign jingle, a vibrant blend of uplifting beats and an infectious hook, makes sure the message lingers long after the video ends.

    A robust digital strategy is in place, leveraging influencers, user-generated content, and social media activations to encourage participation. The campaign invites individuals to take a pledge to donate blood, creating a movement that extends beyond the digital sphere and into real-world impact.

    The campaign video is part of LG’s mega blood donation drive, covering 69 cities across India. Over two months, LG will set up 400 blood donation camps in collaboration with trusted NGOs and blood banks, ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the process. Over the years, LG has successfully mobilised thousands of donors, proving that CSR activity is more than just an activity—it’s a commitment.

    With ‘Life’s Good When Life’s Shared’, LG continues to walk the talk, using its influence and storytelling prowess to inspire tangible change. Blood donation isn’t just a one-time gesture—it’s an ongoing movement, and LG is making sure it stays at the forefront of public consciousness.

  • Transgender model asks “Why don’t you donate blood?”

    Transgender model asks “Why don’t you donate blood?”

    MUMBAI: “Donate Blood and Save Life”, a slogan heard and spread everywhere since years, donating blood is also considered to be every citizen’s responsibility. But how far do we abide the same?

    There is a transgender community out there which desires to donate blood but is refrained from doing so. We know how to judge them on every aspect but do we know the importance of saving a life? What stops others to donate blood regularly?

    Keeping the same in mind and highlighting the two aspects, on the occasion of World Donor Day, BOLD, a transgender modelling agency and WATConsult, the digital and social media agency from Dentsu Aegis Network India, joined hands to launch a campaign titled, #whydontyou.

    The campaign revolves around how transgenders are not allowed to donate blood but what is stopping others. Why don’t the people who have the privilege to donate blood do so! The campaign involves a video featuring Rudrani Chettri Chauhan, a transgender who went against all odds to build India’s first LGBT modelling agency.

    She is seen expressing the plight of the community which is judged upon, refrained from equality and basic rights, desire to save a life but unfortunately aren’t allowed to. She is seen urging the rest strata to stop judging them instead go and donate some part of their blood which could save a needy.

    WATConsult founder and CEO Rajiv Dingra says, “Here are we who pro-actively judge, discard and ignore the existence of transgenders for many reasons but many of us cannot simply donate blood. We wanted to raise awareness about the need of Blood Donation and urge each one of us to become a donor sooner. #whydontyou is simple a step towards the same.”

    BOLD Founder Rudrani Chettri Chauhan adds, “As the third gender, the society discards our existence and more importantly our blood, which can save a million lives. Not every transgender carries the HIV virus, as the public believes. So why waste good blood? But people do so many things to judge us, hold us back and do not do their own bit. I don’t know whether its fear or thought or just ignorance but its time, and I ask them why? When you can judge us, stare us, belittle us then why not do something for the society and donate blood?”

    As a part of the campaign, the agency has created a microsite, www.whydontyou.in wherein a donor can register and donate blood with a Mumbai based blood donation bank, Triumph Blood Donation bank and for records, India needs 5 crore units of blood annually against an availability of 2.5 crore units.
