The campaign focuses on the adverse effects of air pollution and how it affects everything around us – from heritage monuments and wildlife to human health and flora & fauna.
Through the #FilterTheFuture concept, conceptualized and executed by Tonic Worldwide, the Aditya Birla Group has reaffirmed its commitment to the environment by helping consumers identify their fears for the environment and act upon it, as we too have the power to #FilterTheFuture.
The campaign features four eco-conscious influencers from different walks of life, who talk about the adverse effects of air pollution and their biggest fears about the environment. They include renowned influencers – heritage enthusiast Akshay Shetty, wildlife photographer Nishank Joshi, fashion designer Jeena Gupta and environmentalist Sumaira Abdulali. Each of them shares their unique stories and their take on the future that awaits Mother Nature.
At the end, each of their fears is presented in the form of sketches made by Air Ink, the first ink made from recycled air pollution. The underlying message is to urge people to fight air pollution by extracting the best out of the worst.

Lotto: The Joy of Giving

Lottery winners is often portrayed as being selfish and irresponsible with their money. Buying big cars, yachts and otherwise wasting it all on self indulgence. But in our research we discovered that almost all of the previous Danish Lotto winners have shared the joy with their loved ones. This is why we decided to take take the communication in a new direction away from the classic lottery clichés and base the campaign on real heartwarming stories. But instead of focusing on the Lottery winners, we decided to change the perspective and let their loved ones tell their tale. (Out of respect for the people involved, names and details have been changed to protect their anonymity).
