WE ARE SOCIAL, Milan / NETFLIX / 2019
Overview

Credits
Background
In Italy, two weeks before Milan Pride 2018, the Minister of Family and Disability Lorenzo Fontana declared that rainbow families don’t exist.
The same families proudly featured in some of the most loved stories on Netflix.
Idea
For Milan Pride 2018, Netflix decided to take a stand for the LGBTQI community
and launched a provocative and integrated campaign that “doesn’t exist.”
Strategy
We turned a hot topic spreading through Italy a few weeks before Milan Pride into the spark of our project. We didn’t want to launch a simple campaign: we wanted to give voice to thousands of people belonging to LGBT+ community and to impact on Italian culture. “Rainbow Families don’t exist” were the unhappy words of the Minister of Family and Disability: these words became our provocative key-message, embraced by all those people that definitely do exist.
Execution
Both online and offline, Netflix sarcastically declared that several LGBTQI’s symbols – including characters from shows, a float, an iconic monument and a metro station within the LGBTQI district in Milan – did not exist. A strong statement shared by thousands of people that definitely do exist.
