"The uninvisible friend", created by Wunderman, uses a range of touchpoints to tell the story of a girl called Alice and her "uninvisible friend" Dot.
The centrepiece is a large inflatable of the "Dot" character, which was installed this morning at Old Spitalfields Market in London. It is intended to offer a visual representation of how the world may look to a child who is losing their sight to Rb.
This is supported with digital out of home across London and geo-targeted Facebook ads, directing people in the area to search for the Uninvisible Friend online.

The campaign is also being supported by Vision Express, a supporter of the charity, which is today putting a "Dot" on the lenses of all the glasses in the children’s section of its Oxford Street store, and featuring the story of Dot on its in-store digital displays.
Abi Ellis, Wunderman UK’s executive creative director, said: "Cancer is scary for anyone, but even more so when it involves our kids. Our aim with this campaign is to help parents learn about Rb in a non-frightening and creative way, by making the invisible visible."
