Faces of Abuse

Agency: Acart

Description

Financial abuse of seniors is insidious, takes many forms, and can even be inflicted by a loved one. Our approach to raising awareness of this issue was to create a scenario that looked completely innocent on the surface: an elderly woman having tea with a woman who could be a relative, care worker, or neighbour. Using a dramatic change of tone, we quickly take the viewer beneath the friendly exterior to show the kinds of abuse that could be taking place: pressure to help with a bad investment, flattery to coerce money, and threats of abandonment. As the elderly woman becomes aware of what is really going on, she walks away from the situation to seek help. The ad was produced in English and French for a national audience in Canada. It is currently running as pre-roll on major news sites frequented by the target audience.

This professional campaign titled 'Faces of Abuse' was published in Canada in February, 2012. It was created for the brand: HRSDC, by ad agency: Acart. This Film medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 12 years ago.
