Execution
We decided to show people a real piece of the disaster caused by themselves.
In collaboration with a well-known environmental photographer, we realised a print campaign without using regular advertising tools, for instance no photo retouching and as little art direction as possible; letting reality speak for itself.
So we inserted real pictures in magazines, like pictures forgotten in a book. No mention was made of this operation, on the cover of these magazines. So people going through the magazines, all of a sudden and without notice, found a picture of these real baby birds killed by their own parents (which, due to extreme pollution, gave their chicks plastic and human trash as food).The impact is as real and shocking as the reality of the issue.
Strategy
Greenpeace wanted a print and outdoor campaign about waste and waste management, addressing normal people.The organisation wanted to point out how randomly thrown human trash is impacting the environment and the wild life, for instance killing birds in Romania and throughout the globe.
This is a very relevant issue for Romania because of the presence of the Danube Delta, the second largest Delta in Europe. Situated on major migratory routes, and providing adequate conditions for nesting and hatching, the Danube Delta is a magnet for birds from six major eco-regions of the world, including the Mongolian, Arctic and Siberian regions. There are over 320 species of birds found in the delta during summer, of which 166 are hatching species and 159 are migratory. Over one million individuals (swans, wild ducks, bald coots, seagulls, etc) spend the winter here.
