Amazing Amnesty International Ad Campaign
Found at adland:
"Amnesty International in Switzerland broke a new outdoor campaign May 29th that was created by Walker Werbeagentur Zuerich. The campaign uses the tagline "It's not happening here but it's happening now", in various languages, from French to German. Using the transparent billboards, the campaign aims to show people what is going on in the world, even if it's not happening in front of them at the bus stop. The ads portray issues in countries like Iraq, China, and Sudan."
Below are a couple of the billboards:


I think this is a brilliant campaign. It's a pity that more countries do not use it. Maybe in time?
Surely it will be impossible to stand at a bus stop next to one of these images and not feel compassion and the need to change things in some way?
One can hope.

Very nice blog, compliments, full of deep contents, not obvious. I'm from Italy, inscribed at A.I. Polska and I have never seen in Italy images like these at the bus stop. Please, can I put your complete post on my blog? (linking to your blog)
Good work, good work.
Ciao.
