Reel In Donors with Red Defender Ads

Look! On the television! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a public service announcement starring the animated superhero the Red Defender, now available on DVD from your Blood Bank of Hawaii field representative.

Consider showing the humorous yet thought provoking commercials developed by the Ad Council at your next recruitment event or blood drive. The two spots, which are being played across the nation and at Bloodsaves.com, relay the simple message - “Saving the world isn't easy, but saving a life is.”

In the “Car” spot, the Red Defender protects a school from an incoming missile by launching a car towards it. The owner of the car is unhappy that his car was destroyed in the heroic act and gets into an argument with the Red Defender about replacing his vehicle.

In the “Gold Reserve” ad, the Red Defender's wife answers an emergency call from the police about a robbery. After the superhero finishes up in the bathroom, he flies out the window and captures the two crooks. The onlookers begin laughing at him because a piece of toilet paper is hanging out of his superhero costume.

The animated commercials were developed by J.J. Sedelmaier Productions, the same studio responsible for the “TV Funhouse” cartoons for NBC's “Saturday Night Live” and “Speed Racer.” To view the spots online, visit Bloodsaves.com. If you'd like a copy of the DVD, please contact your BBH field representative today.
