Many of us, more often than not have heard, read or used the phrase MCBC in verbal abuses, brawls and fights. The ‘MCBC’ Campaign aims to turn a derogatory phrase into an empowering message. A message to bring about revolution and rise above a deadly disease.
On the occasion, Kunal Kapoor, Actor & Co-Founder, Ketto said “ At Ketto, we believe that a change in mindset is the first step towards solving a problem. Awareness is the only way to bring about a change and address the stigma attached to breast cancer. Even though there is a gradual rise in Breast cancer cases, there is still widespread ignorance about the disease. Through MCBC ( Men Countering Breast Cancer), we want to bring about a revolution and encourage men to stand up for the cause of breast cancer”
Piyush Bhandari, Co-Founder, JUMPINGGOOSE® added “ We are happy to collaborate with Ketto for this campaign. We believe that design has the potential to change the way people think. It has the ability to create social impact. The lingo for the campaign has been designed to be cool, bold, provocative yet sensitive. The idea was to move beyond the preachy and trigger conversations that canzcreate the much required buzz. The MCBC campaign aims to bring together young men to lead this movement against breast cancer”
Mayank Shivam, Category Leader, Amazon Fashion commented “It gives us immense pleasure to introduce the line of T-shirts by Ketto and Jumpinggoose exclusively on Amazon Fashion today. Amazon Fashion is increasingly becoming a preferred partner for brands to reach a wider set of audience through our platform and we are honoured to be a part in supporting and building awareness around Ketto’s Breast Cancer awareness campaign. Through this partnership, we look forward to enabling millions of customers across our network of 19,000 pin codes to easily access this merchandize and actively participate in this noble cause”.
Even though ‘Breast Cancer’ is seen as a woman’s issue, men are also impacted by the disease, whether it’s their spouse, sibling, mother or a close friend. With this campaign, Ketto and JUMPINGGOOSE® are looking out for real men who can encourage and support the women in their lives to take time off their daily chores to get regular preventive checkups done to fight against Breast Cancer. Through the MCBC Campaign, the word will be spread with the help of men who care for women.
