Overview

Execution

Second-Life was born as a collective program through which participating advertisers cut 1 second from their TV commercials and donate the saved media buying money to a cause. Like Mihai Nesu’s cause.

For the people to recognize the commercials part of the Second-Life program, the participating ads were marked with the Second Life logo.

The program was promoted through a print, outdoor and online campaign brought to life with no costs, as all media suppliers fell in love with the cause and decided to support it for free.

Outcome

In less than 6 months:

-The campaign generated over 400.000 worth of PR, involving top Romanian bloggers and social media influencers

-7 national campaigns joined the program, and more are expected to enter

- Over 5000 participating TVCs were broadcasted

- With over 90% of all Romanians being exposed to a Second Life campaign, the initiative got immense coverage

- Tens of thousands of Euros were raised for the foundation, and Second Life became a new way in which advertising can improve peoples’ lives.
