OMD: Ingrid
February 4th is March Against the Terrorist Organization FARC. We took the bus stop posters and chained three (3) iconic characters of the Colombian conflict posing as hostages. A woman who reminisced Ingrid Betancourt (hostage for nine years now), a policeman and a farmer, all tied to the posters that held a message as follows: "Since you can do it, go out and march against FARC."

Could have had a better impact if they were actually inside the bus stop sign and it would've said something like "Hostages are screaming for help, don't look the other way". Or something similar.
blargh!
You have a valid point BFB but in context of how hostages are taken and treated by the F.A.R.C this makes a bigger impact.
I agree with JD, this has a bigger impact. If you had it IN the sign it would be ok, but this way you cant skip the add, you HAVE to look at it.
Its a nice concept the one they worked here and in the newspaper about facing the problem. (in the newspaper its more evident)
I think Ambient Ads with social concerns should try to do this... try to make people FACE THE PROBLEM calling their attention in an original way. (its advertising)
Shocking and definetly effective. Love it
