Execution

The creative strategic solution was to bring to life how impactful powerful questions can be. This idea was carried throughout all our work yet adapted dependent on the media we chose. For the TV, using real footage, we vividly demonstrated how, when a BBC journalist asks a ‘Killer Question’ that gets to the heart of an issue, it can knock even the most eloquent speaker off their stride. Both the press and ambient used the symbol of asking questions – the microphone. In each instance, the microphone is overcome being suppressed and ‘break-through’ (quite literally in the case of the ambient). All the work was tied to together with the same endline – ‘Never Stop Asking’. It’s a ‘call to arms’ which, like the proposition, was applicable to both the audience and BBC World News.
