Fantastic new work by Unilever and Ogilvy (UK & South America). As advertisers we have a huge amount of power, so it’s always great to see that power being put to use for the betterment of the world.
The campaign is called “Project Sunlight”, it’s a global sustainability initiative aiming to help create a better future for our children. To launch it they filmed the below clip asking real expectant parents “Why bring a child into this world”. Find out more at https://www.projectsunlight.com
British Airways: #lookup Billboards
Rather clever use of digital billboard advertising by British Airways and the team at our Ogilvy London office.
As British Airways planes fly over the billboards, they trigger advertising creative showing real-time data of that plane, including destination and flight number. The billboard even uses data from a weather feed to get the cloud height, ensuring the plane is visible before showing the ad.
Wear a Lifejacket
Our latest print campaign for the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) demonstrates how wearing a lifejacket can save your life by making you much easier to spot when you’re in the water. Lifejackets not only help you stand out from the surrounding colours of the ocean, they also keep you afloat and make the NSRI’s chances of finding you much greater.
The NSRI is one of our pro bono clients – an organization of approximately 900 unpaid volunteers – on duty 24/7, ready to save people off South African shores.
