Veen: New Aqua Creatures

Veen Print Ad - New Aqua Creatures

VEEN gets its waters from the purest sources, places completely untouched and unpolluted by humans. It is therefore only natural that we support the cause of man-made pollution. While we continue to work harder to ensure all our products are packed in biodegradable materials, this is our effort to inspire ourselves more, and urge others to be responsible towards the environment as well.

Conceptualize and execute an ad campaign to spread awareness about the dangers of plastic bottles and their improper disposal, and their negative impacts on the environment.

We looked into the ill effects of improper waste disposal, and found that the worst affected are our oceans. Marine life around the world is seriously affected by plastic waste, often getting entangled, or choking to death and drowning due to ingesting the waste.

Plastic bottles and straws, mainly from the packaged water and aerated drinks industries, are a large contributor to the generation of such waste, and in the campaign we have directly brought this issue to light. The thought was to work with highly relatable elements and show how our favorite cold-drinks/juices are affecting our most loved sea creatures, to create a sense of guilt and invoke a sense of responsibility in each one of us.
We attempted to execute this concept by creating a powerful visual narrative, while pairing it with an impactful message through the copy.

We took our favorite sea creatures, and placed them in a world of plastic. Visually it is the sea and its creatures, caught up and entangled, choked in their entirety. The copy aims to provoke using an extremely direct approach, aiming to be high impact, and to invoke the feeling of guilt, ending in the extremely straightforward message – ‘Stop drowning our oceans’, while bringing our biodegradable packaging practices into the light.

Auchan: The GPS Quality Label

Over the past few years, Europe has been hit by a series of food scandals. Today French consumers don’t know where their food comes from. And that’s the point of this campaign: Where does our food really come from and under which circumstances has it been produced? In response, Auchan, one of France’s leading retailers, has launched the GPS Quality Label campaign.

Instead of coming up with promises that no one believes in anymore, Auchan has created the only quality label that shows precisely where the local farmers actually produce the products, using the Google Street View technology. This way, people can check the production quality and the origins of their food themselves.

Compassion In World Farming: Trucking Hell

Compassion In World Farming Ambient Ad - Trucking Hell

Compassion in World Farming, the leading animal welfare charity, has revealed a hard-hitting new stunt which aims to highlight the long journeys endured by live farm animals, ahead of Stop Live Transport Day on Friday 14th June. The push was developed in partnership with creative agency ELVIS.
Compassion in World Farming is driving a truck from Edinburgh to Ramsgate to represent the long journey that unweaned calves, some just a few weeks old, make as they are transported to be shipped off to the continent for slaughter or fattening. Wrapped in livery, the truck looks as though it is full of live calves. It is emblazoned with the line ‘Trucking hell. Thousands of animals. Year after year’, and the campaign hashtag #StopLiveTransport.

The stunt is part of Stop Live Transport: International Awareness Day, an annual day of action that takes place globally to raise awareness of the millions of live farm animals who are transported thousands of miles every year. The global movement aims to stop the long-distance transport of animals.
