BriefExplanation
Christian Aid is a charity whose purpose is to enable the poorest of the poor to escape the trap of poverty. No matter how hard-working and enterprising the poor are, their biggest problem are the unfair international trade rules. Christian Aid want to raise public awareness of this issue while mobilising support and generating funds to help the campaign.
CampaignDescription
Use the broadsheet (non-tabloid) press to a targeted audience of educated readers. The proposition: help Christian Aid change the trade agreements that stop poor countries fighting poverty. Dramatise the unfairness of the current trade rules by creating a 'big fight' between the tiny producers and the heavyweights. The graphic lanaguage quickly communicates the idea with impact and emotion, without trivialising the issue.
