A new campaign from Facebook Portal focuses on the important connection between grandparents and grandchildren across TV, digital, social and OOH encouraging families to take advantage of the many benefits that come with sharing experiences through video calling.

The ad marks the start of a partnership between Portal and YoungMinds, extending through 2022, to reach and recognise the vital role that trusted adults like parents as grandparents can play in supporting the mental health of young people.

Developed with AMV BBDO, the work was driven by research that found that nearly 2 million UK grandparents only see their grandchildren once a year. So, whilst many families have been able to reconnect in person, the reality is most British families remain separated by geography, especially grandparents from their grandchildren.

A multi-channel strategy covers e-commerce, digital and social media ads and OOH across the country. The campaign will also include a hyper-local activation in Bournemouth. Messages of love from grandchildren will pop up in DOOH placements all over the town, home to more grandparents than anywhere else in the UK.
