Dads for Life encourages fathers to take an active role in their children’s lives.

The movement’s success lies in building a culture of active fatherhood and breaking new ground for fathers to take control of how they relate to their families, breaking old moulds of the traditional breadwinner role.

Raison played a primary role in working with the Ministry of Family and Social Development to bring the movement online through a multi-year new media strategy, content operations and social media management.

Campaigns and content were focused on progressively mobilising each class of actors with an influence on the transformational outcome of vibrant father-child relationships. Distinct platforms were created for voices to speak and be heard, with social media amplifying these authentic messages.
