Description
Amnesty International was looking to get help for children who are affected by war zones. The objective was to encourage donations in a distinctive manner which would also generate awareness of this problem.
Execution
We empowered people to be able to literally take children out of the war through their collaboration. How? We turned a gaming machine into a help machine:The Save Machine, that interacts and sensitizes, while encouraging people to contribute.
How it Works: (Immediate response machine.) Insert a coin to operate to pick a child and extract him/her out of the war zone. While helping to achieve this, people would take out a card with information about Amnesty International and their work, with a call to action to visit their website.
Outcome
- Impacted 15,000 people per weekend.- Increased visits to the website by 85%.- Generated economic contributions for Amnesty Internacional. Each coin, formerly used to play, was turned into a mean to help.- We empowered poeple to act and take a child out of a war zone. And for a moment they became active members of Amnesty International.
