Creative idea:
Carol of the Bells has been bringing Christmas mood for more than 100 years. But you may not know that this song came from Ukraine. It is based on a traditional Ukrainian folk song arranged by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914. We turned this famous Xmas carol into a donation platform using Shazam, to help Ukrainian children suffering from war. Carol of the Bells was transformed into Carol for Charity. We created a new version of the famous Carol. We changed its lyrics. The song asked people to shazam itself. Whenever people heard this song they could shazam it and immediately donated to children in just a couple of clicks.
