A Message from Bobby

Bono and I came to the World Economic Forum last January to announce a way of getting the best global marketing companies to go to work for people dying of AIDS in Africa. (RED) was that idea. The word, and most particularly the “embrace” logo ( ) conveys the idea that private sector businesses working together can achieve great results.


We have seen the beginnings of what this embrace can produce and we are absolutely sure of one thing: These companies are marketing geniuses.

The Converse mudcloth shoes—not our idea. They came from Dave Maddocks and his colleagues at Converse. The shoes are sold out. The phrase, “This card is designed to help eliminate AIDS in Africa” that is printed on the back of every American Express (RED) card came from John Hayes and the AMEX marketing team. Who would have imagined seeing that statement on a credit card! The iconic Gap advertising came from Annie Leibovitz, Trey Laird and amazing Gap team. It covered 10 miles of shop windows, as well as billboards, newspapers and magazines. In addition, Gap’s fantastic designs for the Lesotho-made t-shirt captivated Oprah Winfrey and her international audience. This shirt is the biggest-selling shirt in recent Gap history. Motorola inspired Kanye West, Chris Rock and Sheryl Crow to talk about the Global Fund and (RED), and they turned their premier product, the MOTORAZR, (RED). Giorgio Armani took over London Fashion Week for the first time ever to launch his collection for (RED), and then had a party in every store worldwide for World AIDS Day. Mr. Armani’s sunglasses and watches flew off the shelves. And Apple with the iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition—it’s beautiful and is selling great—people love the color and they love the connection. It’s so popular that Apple even added an 8 GB model in time for the holidays.


All these smart people have gone to work for AIDS in Africa. That creativity—and the visibility and action it produces—will continue for the 2007 product year and beyond. That is really exciting. And of course the most compelling part is that the money earned has already begun to flow to programs in Rwanda and Swaziland.



In the last nine months, more than $20 million has been generated by (RED) partners—really by their customers—for the Global Fund. This is so, even though the full product line has been available only since October. And this $20 million is 4x more than the $5 million in private sector contributions that had been sent to the Fund in the prior 4 years. So (RED) is off to a good start. The launch of the full product range seems to have gotten through to customers in the US, UK, France and Japan. Brand awareness is now around 20 percent in major markets, which for a concept that was only announced a year ago is good. (RED) partners have produced iconic advertising and won awards for their campaigns. This is very good.


The big challenge we face is sustainability. Everywhere we go, people ask what our plans are for making this venture sustainable. Every time we answer “continuing innovation in products, continuing innovative campaigns to inform people that the (RED) embrace means money for medicine in Africa and continuing innovation with new product partners and their integration into the (RED) marketing system.” This is a very daunting task. We are depending on—and thankful for—our product partners and our customers.
