Execution
Conventional advertising is out of place here. This is why the Frankfurt Food Bank uses deposit bottle collection to convey its message. Throughout the city it distributes specially prepared bottles, which at first glance look like real deposit bottles.Anyone who pulls out one of these “messages in a bottle” will see that one can receive a food bag in exchange for the bottle from any of the numerous Food Bank distribution centres in Frankfurt.The German name for the Food Bank is “Tafel”. All bottles are labelled “Tafelwasser” which means “table water” as well as “water from the Food Bank”.
Outcome
Half a million people in Germany are already being provided with the most basic necessities by the Food Banks. Thanks to the "message in a bottle" campaign, there will be even more in the future.The response: Many reports on local and regional TV channels, radio, online and in the printed press.
The results: A wide public awareness of the “message in a bottle” campaign and a Food Bank that is now able to help even more people in need.And this simple ambient media idea didn't cost a single cent!
