WWF: Biodiversity And Biosafety Awareness and Energy Consumption Campaigns


2010
07.22

This time I would like to share with you two awareness campaigns: one for Biodiversity And Biosafety Awareness from WWF France (Agency: Ogilvy, Paris, France) and an other from WWF Spain (Agency: Contrapunto BBDO, Madrid, Spain) about energy consumption.

WWF France: “What will it take before we respect the planet?”

WWF Spain: “If you don´t use it, turn it off. WWF.”

What is really interesting in those campaigns is that we can observe a major element of WWF communication. They usually refer to elements from our daily life which create a link between the cause and our life. For example, graffiti in the French campaign and objects from home in the Spanish one. It allows us to integrate the subject in our own reality.

Moreover, images are strong and really well realized. However, I think that the strength of WWF campaigns is in the combination of images and catch phrases. They don’t only explain the pictures but ad a dimension that make us think about it and our actions’ repercussions. This is what I like about it, simplicity but also an occasion to think about our habits and maybe to improve them. And it seems quite simple for some of them like turning off a ventilator :)

WWF Spain and Leo Burnett Iberia created a special campaign for the Madrid Comic Show, also promoted in top comic book stores in Spain.

The interesting point in this campaign is that they succeeded to adapt it to the event and to create a way to increase youngsters awareness of endangered species protection through their interest. Moreover illustrations are just amazing.

Just a little note to share with you this great awareness campaign about Polio from CCBT India:

It is just one question « How will your child’s life be without a polio dose? Something like this » and a sign that they have reinvented to transmit their message. This is a really good idea and example of how to be simple and have a strong impact.

SAMU SOCIAL: Be a homeless for 24h

This is one of the best idea I have seen recently! The concept of this awareness campaign « The street, Easy to enter, Hard to escape » is to make people understand what is like to be a homeless. SAMU SOCIAL, a French association helping homeless, has just created a website in which you can be a homeless for 24h and see what he sees by the aid of a camera on his glasses. It is impressive !

And the best thing is that they adapt the video to the time you are watching it. So you know exactly what a homeless  can see at this time. Great campaign !

CCFD Terre Solidaire: stereotypes


2010

Here is a new print campaign from CCFD Terre Solidaire and created by Euro RSCG C&O, Paris, France:

In this campaign, we can see three prints with people from different areas and a note saying for example: “This is not a street child from Sao Paulo. This is a young woman who has started a cooperative. Poorer countries deserve more than our outdated stereotypes.”  What I like in this campaign is that they point a reality that sometimes we are not conscious of: stereotypes from northern countries. They based this awareness campaign on kind of draws/representations we could see during colonization time, strengthened by this hand writing typography.

Actually, we still have those stereotypes due to our history and reinforced by Media. We will surely need time to integrate in our perception of poor countries that there are local people helping their communities and successful local businessmen.

Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada: Get your butt seen.

Many of us have already seen the video from Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada, part of the campaign: Get your butt seen!

What is interesting in this awareness campaign is that they used a situation that people usually do for fun. In this short video they just said that some people photocopy their butt for fun and so don’t be ashamed of showing yours because it can save your life!

Here are the prints which I really like because they added diversity with men and women butts and black/white images involved that everyone is concerned. The artistic direction of this project was really good and the visual choice really adapted to the subject. Nice Campaign!
