Facebook India delivers a powerful message with ‘More Together’ campaign
The global pandemic swept the world away within a matter of a few months. With COVID-19 becoming more and more life threatening each day, countries are yet to loosen quarantine protocols. This means many companies are still shut down, and people are staying behind closed doors. The pandemic did not only take lives, and health safety; but many dreams, and livelihood. With this perspective in mind, Facebook India has launched their latest campaign ‘More Together’.

The Campaign
Meet Pooja didi.
Pooja lives in a small, secluded corner in the city of Amritsar. With her father passing away, Pooja has to look after the milk store- Pooja Milk Center. The campaign starts off on a mundane day at work; until Pooja notices the headline on the newspaper in front of her. The headline stated increasing unemployment rates due to the pandemic. Following the read, Pooja logged into Facebook and asked anyone who is unemployed to visit her store.

The following scenes see Pooja hiring one man after the other, although her staff had reached full capacity. Certainly, her younger brother couldn’t make any sense out of it. But little did he know that his older sister was impacting the lives of these unemployed men. These very men who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.
The 7-minute online video commercial captured the inspiring personality of Pooja didi to the dot. We see her struggling to make ends meet due to increasing cost in salaries and expenses. Even then, she does not let her newly hired workers go. Rather, she sells her own car to pay their salaries in advance for the occasion of Diwali.
One bright morning, as she arrives to the store, Pooja sees a crowd of people lining up. These people were there to buy from her store, and pay respect to her grit, strength, and audacity.
BUT WHY? Thanks to Facebook!
