Description
Five thousand people have drowned in 2016 in the Mediterranean Sea while fleeing their countries, but this horror is not taken seriously anymore among young europeans. We announced a game about the drama in the Mediterranean Sea. We promoted the game called 'Schlepperkönig' (king of the human trafficker) on Facebook. This caused enormous outrage, Austria's biggest newspapers reported. German and Swiss newspapers also hopped on the train. When the attention reached its peak, we showed the real scandal: The fact that a game causes more disgust than 5,000 drowned.
This professional campaign titled 'Schlepperkönig' was published in Austria in December, 2016. It was created for the brand: Sea Eye, by ad agency: Virtual Identity. This Digital medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted over 7 years ago.
