Overview

Description

Media was under pressure, and the situation was casting gloom over the society. The main aim was however to focus on the hopeful and the positive as Açik Radyo always does. The incidents had brought together people from all walks of life, proving we can coexist.

Execution

The work had to reflect harmony. The imagery needed to be sharp, elegant and to the point. Upon our search, the photographer's collage that we discovered was a perfect match for the task. In this work, we are showing a score sheet made up of people. They are a part of the same melody. Hence we kept true to the score sheet form in art direction and came up with the headline “The music of the people”.

Outcome

Due to the limited resources of an independent radio station, there was not a huge media budget. However, the ad and the poster were so welcome by the people, it was shared extensively online. 8 months after it was aired, it is still being used by the client as their main communication idea. It reached several international creative achievements in award shows. It was aired in several prestigious publications both in advertising and others. It was exhibited in New York Museum of Modern Arts. All these created huge extra PR for the station.
