One of the most devastating things about a disease like Alzheimer’s is that it could hit more or less anyone.

However, in its new campaign for Alzheimer’s Research UK, Beyond has decided to reframe that as something much more positive: that more or less anyone could be the first person cured.

Making a crowd the centrepiece of its hero film, The First One, Beyond captures people spending time in the park, backed by In Between Days from (aptly) The Cure.

With smart direction from LoveSong's Saman Aminzadeh alongside the ever-reliable camerawork of Robbie Ryan, this heartfelt piece is a wonderfully optimistic counterpoint to the sector's predilection for 'sadvertising'.
