Friends of Cancer Patients asked them to raise awareness about the risks of over-exposure to the sun, which causes skin cancer killing 20 people daily. They came up with an ambient idea to highlight this fact: 300 beach towels, shaped like coffins, were displayed around the beach and distributed among the public. The initial reaction of the beach goers was shock, followed by an instant appreciation of the gesture; many of them even asking for free sunscreen.

In China drinking unsafe water is common, especially in poorer and remote villages. There are about 300 million people with no access to clean drinking water and hence their lives are severely threatened. City folks could hardly relate to the situation. So Greenpeace urgently needs to raise awareness of this pressing issue among both local Chinese in big cities and foreign visitors. Target the city stickers with the message: Imagine if you had to drink contaminated water like your fellow citizens in the remote and poorer areas. Floor stickers – designed to resemble puddles of water – are placed in Beijing’s commercial and tourist districts. When pedestrians passes by and look down, they see the reflection of a poor child scooping from the poodle of dirty water and drinking it. The copy reads: “Every 17 minutes, a child in China dies from drinking polluted water”. During the campaign period, these floor stickers caught the attention of scores of pedestrians. They stopped to read the message and took note of the website address. There was a 20% increase in the number of hits on the Greenpeace website during the same period. Many curious passer-bys also took pictures of the “puddles” stickers.

Tattoos are permanent. So before you get one you want to make sure you’re going to like it. To help with this, we placed stickers of tattoos in bathroom and changing room mirrors throughout the city. People could line the tattoos up in the mirror to give the impression that they were actually on their skin. Below the tattoo was another sticker with the message.

Show the benefits of the product in a creative manner, in order to attract attention on the special product placement in the supermarkets. Making the Ajax Glass effect clear for everybody. In order to do so, they used the entrance doors in the supermarkets, modified to look like they’re dusty. When the doors were closed you could not see anything, just a blurred image. When the doors opened two big squeegee “cleaned” the window, leaving a crystal clear view of the supermarket interior.
