Barnardo's has revealed another segment of its 'Believe In Me' campaign following its launch on 23 September with a three minute short about a young gymnast. 

The ad, created by FCB Inferno, follows the girl as she performs an array of acrobatics in a dark and dingy pub. During the performance, a narrative runs on screen saying: "I am not my dad.", "I am not the fear he'd come home" and "I am not my broken ribs" before changing to "I am here", "I am not worthless" and "I am not hiding". 

The campaign hopes to change the view of the children from a victim to a hero by showcasing what they can achieve and who they are after the pain they have experienced. 

FCB Inferno chief executive, Frazer Gibney, said: "This campaign is built around that truth and focuses on hope and potential rather than despair."

FCB Inferno: Barnardo's 'Believe in Me'

Agency: FCB Inferno
Client: Barnardo's
Date: November 2016
FCB Inferno has created a new brand platform for the UK’s largest children’s charity, Barnardo’s. ‘Believe in me’ launches with an integrated campaign focusing on the incredible things that can happen when you believe in children. It will be launched across media on 23rd September, spearheaded by a 60” TVC to coincide with Barnardo’s launching a new 10 year corporate strategy.
The film features five children whose lives have been transformed. Their narrative turns from victim to hero: ‘I am not his little secret’, ‘I am not the toys I never had’, ‘I am not my broken ribs’, ‘I am strong’, ‘I am free’, ‘I am proud’, ‘I am unstoppable’… An evocative cover of Tears for Fear’s ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ by Lorde builds as their performances gain in confidence. Their five performances are dramatic reconstructions of true events, each representing a key focus of Barnardo’s care. Individual stories will be found online, along with a deep-dive into the real case studies behind the campaign and the work Barnardo’s do across the UK.
