Innovative Media Strategy:
The main mission of Amnesty International is to
uncover, document and make public the abuse of human rights. This campaign shows
how human rights are abused each and every day - within only a few hours flying
distance of us. The aim of Amnesty is to make people aware of the human rights
abuse issue and to get the public interested in Amnesty International's mission.
Creative Execution:
The poster campaign entitled "It's not happening here.
But it is happening now" brings the worldwide abuse of human rights straight to
Swiss doorsteps. Two worlds collide on 200 individual posters, every single one
adapted to match its respective surrounding. The brutal scenes from Guantanamo
for instance suddenly take place in the middle of Zurich.
Target Audience:
With a total of only 200 posters, the campaign is
triggering a resounding national and international echo. After the start of the
campaign there were extensive media reports both inside and outside Switzerland
as well as intensive discussions on the campaign in over 400 weblogs.
Effectiveness:
The impact of the campaign lead to a twenty-fold
increase in the number of visitors to the Amnesty International website.
