Brief:
Dramatise and explain the inhumanities of modern day slavery.

Solution:
The campaign set up the idea that slaves are really just commodities that can be traded like oil or pork bellies. This entry was a fake brochure for a 'Global Slavery Fund', like an investment fund. It explained the benefits of slavery as an investment. It was sent to 30 people who we thought would have the greatest response - heads of social causes, journalists, writers etc.

Results:
Difficult to say as the brochure only directed people to a website where they could sign a petition. This has about 2,000 names so far.
