Overview

Description

Our radio commercial contrasts two different acts of giving and their very different trajectories.Encouraging people to consider Matthew Talbot this winter, when using their money for good.We’re all familiar with giving a homeless person a coin or two on the street.But with Matthew Talbot Homeless Services, there’s a far more effective way to help the homeless.By donating to Matthew Talbot, you not only help provide them with a bed or something to eat, you participate in funding the education and training programmes that foster their potential and break their cycle of homelessness for good.

Execution

The design was inspired by Matthew Talbot Homeless Services’ effectiveness in breaking the cycle of homelessness.We wanted to remind the public of homeless individuals that once occupied certain parts of their environment and who were no longer there, thanks to Matthew Talbot Homeless Services.We placed their life-sized silhouettes in areas they once frequented. The design housed stories outlining the potential that Matthew Talbot identified and fostered in each individual.It also gave people an opportunity to instantly donate via a QR Code and participate in sponsoring the potential of other homeless individuals in need.
