Brand: RFSU (the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education)
Agency: House of Radon
Swedish Association for Sexuality Education
- RFSU (the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education), founded by human rights activist Elise Ottesen-Jensen, has been fighting for body rights since 1933.
- RFSU sells condoms with all profits directly funding research and sexual education all around the world.
Our Task
- Create real behavioral change among young Scandinavians, age 18-25.
- Change their perception of the condom from an obstacle into an enabler of great sex.
- Provide a concept that works throughout the whole value chain - from a broad earned conversation down to tactical in-store ads.
The Main Insight
- We found the condom gap - a glitch between the 80% that wants to use a condom and the 50% that actually makes it happen.
- Sexual education focuses a lot on changing attitudes, but this gap shows that it's the actual behavior that needs to change - a shift that broth us in to a very different territory.
- Studies told us that encouraging communication calls for behavioral change, whereas negatively pointers does not.
- In popular culture condoms are perceived as a joke, in porn its non-existent, and in school just dry. We had to make the condom sexy.
