Description
"To reach as many people as possible, we gathered celebrities in France known to all but especially known to the football community. We have made a film that shows celebrities, volunteers but also real victims of violence say no to domestic violence and bruises. Everyone is wearig the jersey of the France national football team. The creative idea of this campaign is a play of words with blue (bruises) and Les Bleus (The France national football team).
""Je ne supporte pas les bleus"" means litterally : ""I can't stand bruises"" which is a play of words because ""bleu"" means bruises but also the color blue being the french football team's color (and also their surname). The France national football team is enormously considered in France and the term ""Les Bleus"" is known from all.
Execution
The campaign was entirely gracious, the production, the creative aspect but also the media and celebrities. Everyone wanted to be part of this cause.

It was a national campaign in France: Tv spots, Out of Home (bus shelters), Press (magazine and web), press,banners, social media, video on line (pre-roll, catch-up...). To launch the campaign, Raymond Domenech (the ex former coach of the France national football team) tweeted a provocative message (just before the media launch) "I can't stand Les Bleus". After that, 3 other celebrites tweeted the same message.
