But the most natural way of sharing energy is with breastfeeding. However, in some parts of the world was negatively perceived…

This parallelism seemed like a great opportunity to normalize the extraordinary, because energy is made to be shared. In this campaign we have chosen three places: a bus, a coffee shop and a clothing store. Three places where we can charge our smartphone with the new P30 feature. But most meaningful aspect, three places where it should´t be weird to see a woman breastfeeding her child.

Huawei always says “Make it possible” and we believe that technology changes the way we see things, but has to be committed to the really important things like this.
