Ambient for Beneva Foundation, to raise awareness about the rising cases of domestic abuse against women in Romania.
Context
One in four women gets abused in Romania. Our client, Beneva Foundation, thought more people needed to be made aware of this worrying trend.
What we did
Using the line “One in four women get beaten instead of getting flowers”, we created, with the help of a well-known flower stylist, a bouquet that had at its centerpiece not a flower, but a baseball bat, as a
metaphor for the abuse women have to put up with.
How we took it further
We then placed the bouquets, along with a card explaining the problem and urging to help, in lots of flower shops around Bucharest. Giving flowers to women is a very wide spread habit in Bucharest, so by doing this we targeted people most likely to get involved — those that already care about the women in their lives.
Conclusions
After running for two weeks, the campaign significantly increased the number of hits on Beneva’s webpage, and put the bases for a healthy discussion of the problem, both online and between the people exposed to the campaign.

You’ve probably seen the ‘boyfriend chair’ in clothing stores for bored shopping companions. Now IKEA has taken the concept one step further by creating a “crèche” for retail-weary men, complete with Xbox consoles, pinball machines, continuous televised sport and free hot dogs. MÄNLAND is being trialled for four days this Father’s Day weekend [Sept 2 in Aus.] as a male-only play space to hang out in while wives and girlfriends peruse the aisles. Publicity manager Jude Leon said the idea was modelled on the Swedish furniture giant’s existing child play area, SMALAND. Ms Leon said women were given a buzzer to remind them to collect their other half after 30 minutes of shopping.
