More than 15.000 people are living in the streets of São Paulo unprotected from the cold. Mooca Plaza Shopping wanted to help so, the task that WE, an agency from São Paulo, had was to find a way to increase coat donations. They created posters with the photos of actual homeless people suffering from the cold and the donor could help by placing a coat upon them.

Croix Rouge is best known for blood donation. But in Belgium, their main activity is fighting poverty. Not just the poverty of those who sleep on the streets under cardboard, but the poverty of the families that have to make difficult decisions to avoid financial trouble at the end of the month. This year, Croix Rouge wants to mobilise people during the Christmas period. To take up arms and join the fight against poverty.
Using a simple example, Croix Rouge demonstrates what 1 in 10 families in Belgium face on a regular basis: having to choose between a birthday party or paying the electricity bill. By showing an ordinary family in an ordinary setting, the message hits in hard: this could be you. All it takes to help is a small donation to Croix Rouge that allows them to keep their social projects running.
The campaign was launched across the following supports: TVC, Cinema, Print, Bannering and a TV show called FACE A FACE debated about the topic.

I know that we've all seen more than enough videos called “The Mannequin Challenge” but this one from ALS League (ALS=Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is different and for a good cause.
The first seconds you are watching a regular Mannequin Challenge: you see a medical lab with researchers and professors in white coats that – as they are supposed to - remain motionless while the camera winds its way through the area. But when the last mannequin appears, the challenge gets a whole other meaning. While the researchers continue their activities, the last mannequin remains motionless. The person carries a sign that says “For ALS-patients, every day is a Mannequin Challenge.” It’s clear that this person has ALS, a progressive neurological disease that causes dysfunction of the nerves that control muscle movement, leading to muscle weakness, gradually affecting nerves that control breathing and other vital bodily functions, resulting in death within 2 to 5 years’ time. A disease that cannot possibly leave people unmoved.
The Belgian ALS League and the researchers in the movie are in need of funds to continue their research on ALS. You can help by donating and sharing this video.

"The man and the dog" is a heartbreaking PSA by DDB Argentina for the Fundacion Argentina de Trasplante Hepatico, a non-governmental non-profit organization for organ donations.
We follow a dog and his elderly owner, we see how close they are and the commitment dogs have to their owners. The days go by as usual but one day the the man goes to the hospital and the dog stays outside for days, waiting and waiting until he reunites with his owner in a way that shows that our lives can continue through someone else.

Organ donation is a serious decision that people should strongly consider. Duval Guillaume and Ray Gun made the "heartbeats" radio campaign for Re-born to be alive, a nonprofit organization that stands for the promotion of organ donation and transplantation.
With this campaign Duval Guillaume wants to raise awareness about organ donation, the possibilities people have, to spark discussions about the topic and make people understand that life can be passed over to someone else, making a person's death the continuity of another's life.
The campaign will be aired on FM Brussels.

It seems like a joke that you can carry a gun at Kroger's but not a skateboard, an animal or a squirt gun. The problem is that it is true!
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America releases “Not Allowed” a new film ad today and the launch of “World’s Longest Receipt” highlighting the cost of Kroger’s failure to adopt gun sense policies that protect the safety of their customers and employees.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America releases “Not Allowed” a new film ad today and the launch of “World’s Longest Receipt” highlighting the cost of Kroger’s failure to adopt gun sense policies that protect the safety of their customers and employees.
The launch comes as Moms Demand Action today applauds Safeway & Albertsons, the country’s second largest grocery store chain, for responding to Moms’ calls and clarifying their company-wide policy prohibiting firearms in their stores.
“Moms are thrilled to see Safeway and Albertsons leadership stand up for gun sense by clarifying and reinforcing its firearms policy – this gives us another clear alternative of where to shop alongside other gun sense stores like Target, Costco and Whole Foods, especially while Kroger has not yet responded to our call to keep customers and employees safe from gun violence in their stores,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
As part of the effort to highlight Kroger’s failure to update it’s store policy, Moms Demand Action released a new 60-second ad produced by Grey Toronto, featuring individuals open carrying firearms in the aisles of a supermarket, behavior that is permitted by Kroger policies, in contrast to people carrying other objects that are prohibited from most Kroger stores, including skateboards, animals, and squirt guns.
“Our new ad shows how Kroger policies are inconsistent and alarming – particularly given that the laws in a majority of states do not require a background check, permitting or even training to open carry a firearm,” continued Watts. “In all states, businesses have an obligation to protect their employees and patrons and until Kroger steps up, Moms will put our money where our mouths are and shop at stores that put our safety first like Safeway and Alberstons.”
Also today, Moms Demand Action released the “World’s Longest Receipt”, an ongoing tally of dollars spent at Kroger competitors with gun sense policies. Moms invite customers to enter the amount spent at stores that put the safety of our families first — stores like Whole Foods, Costco, Target, and now Safeway and Albertsons. As receipts are entered, the site will display an ongoing tally of the total dollars spent elsewhere.
“Kroger needs to know that their refusal to act is costing them money as Moms take our grocery shopping elsewhere,” added Watts. “Now we’re keeping track of all the money Kroger is losing to its gun sense competitor and with the help of our supporters, we will create the World’s Longest Receipt.”
Moms Demand Action’s petition calling on Kroger Family of Stores President ad Chief Operating Officer Michael Ellis, and W. Rodney McMullen to prohibit open carry in its supermarkets was launched in response to incidences of gun violence in and around stores, as well as open carry demonstrations organized by gun extremists who brought loaded semi-automatic assault weapons into stores (photos here). The petition has over 360,000 signatures.
Moms Demand Action’s Kroger campaign follows similar efforts aimed at Target, Starbucks,Chipotle, Sonic, Chili’s and Jack in the Box that led these companies to take swift action to stand with Moms and enforce or adopt policies that prohibit open carry to protect the safety of their employees and customers.

It starts like a perfect Doritos cheesy love story. But things change when the cheesy couple learn that PepsiCo, Doritos' parent company, buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil every year and that the production of palm oil destroys rainforest and threatens species to the point of extinction. This deforestation results in the death of over 1,000 Sumatran orangutans every year. The ad was made from Sum of Us, who is a world-wide movement focused on creating a better global economy.
Samsung made an app that addresses the problem of millions of children who struggle to make eye contact due to autism. Till now there has been no scientifically-endorsed treatment. The world's first interactive camera app Look At Me, is a program that helps improve eye contact and social skills.
In the video we see Jong-Hyun who trained with Look At Me every day for eight weeks. And it's not only helped him to make eye contact more easily, but also brought him closer to his mom.

Every year people die waiting for an organ donation. The waiting list is too long. The donor list too short. The Belgian non-profit organisation Re-born To Be Alive wants to raise awareness about organ donation and make the topic more easy to discuss.
Duval Guillaume came up with this campaign for Re-born To Be Alive. It wants to make people aware of the fact that one donor can save up to eight lives. The brain however cannot be donated. And in some cases that’s a good thing.
The numbers are staggering. Every minute 27 girls are forced into marriage. That’s 2 every second. Child marriage is a global problem.
The practice violates girls’ human rights, curtails their education, harms their health and sharply constrains their future.
Plan Belgium with the help of Duval Guillaume agency helped these girls to take over ‘age warnings’ in prime time on national television, in movie theaters and in youtube trailers and explain the problem. In these touching movies, 3 separate girls tell an emotional story and paint a true picture about this horrible tradition.
The start of a solution is simple: more education. Getting girls to school means delaying marriage. And by becoming a Plan parent that’s exactly what you’re helping to achieve.
A woman walking around in London with a hidden camera in her bra counts the number of people who look at her breast. And yes, there are a lot. Nice stunt by Nestlé FITNESS to raise breast cancer awareness with their Pink Ribbon initiative. So, the message to all the women is #CheckYourSelfie, and help prevent breast cancer.

How a mobile company can increase blood donations by 335%?
Y&R Moscow created Donor Cable, a bracelet for Nar Mobile that you can use to donate power from one smartphone to another. The message "Donate energy to save a phone, and donate blood to save a life." urged users to donate blood in order to help kids in Azerbaijan that are born with the blood disorder thalassemia. Azerbaijan is No1 in the world in thalassemia and babies who suffer from it need extensive blood transfusions.
I would say kudos to the agency and the client for the Donor Cable bracelet for a true life-saving project. BUT why are they going to Cannes with this idea since the same one is already been done and with the same name by Leo Burnett. See the case study below the credits.
The drinkable book is a revolutionary and life saving idea. It filters water and teaches proper sanitation & hygiene to those in the developing world. Each book is printed in two languages on technologically advanced filter paper, capable of killing deadly waterborne diseases. Each page is coated with silver nanoparticles, whose ions actively kill diseases like cholera, typhoid and E. coli.
Once water is passed through the filter, bacteria count is reduced by over 99.99%, making the filtered water comparable to tap water in the United States of America.
The paper costs only pennies to produce, making it by far the cheapest option on the market. Each filter is capable of giving someone up to 30 days worth of clean water. And each book is capable of providing someone with clean water for up to 4 years.

A very emotional spot for World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st. Coor Down, Italy's national organization for people with Down syndrome received a letter from a mother who learned that her son will be born with Down syndrome. She asked "I'm scared: What kind of life will my child have?"
The answer came from Saatchi & Saatchi with this emotional video where 15 people with Down syndrome respond to her. "Everyone has the right to be happy" as the tagline says.

Webcam Child Sex Tourism (WCST) is spreading like an epidemic. Men from rich countries pay children in poor countries to perform sexual acts in front of webcams. While there are tens of thousands victims every day, there are only 6 convictions.
Lems, an Amsterdam based creative agency wanted to help so they teamed-up with Terre des Hommes Netherlands and they really helped. Not with an advertising campaign but with hard work that brought real results.
They developed "Sweetie", a 3D model that looked like a 10-year-old Filipino girl, interacted with over 20,000 predators, gathered incriminating evidence for 1,000 predators from 71 countries and urged goverments to act upon this. They managed to make Webcam Child Sex Tourism a globally recognized problem, make the Philippines national police consider it as the No1 crime, bring predators to justice and save children.
Stay in school or die horribly! This is what happens when you slack off.
This is not the usual public service announcement you'd expect. It's more like a splatter movie. And a big viral hit.
