I agree. People always confuse a compelling cause with a compelling idea.

You can't deny that is has stopping power. I like the idea of dead people giving their testimonials.

Really emotive, powerful and refined. Great to see it at Cannes.

Its not obvious in the print, but this campaign photographed and video recorded these victims of ALS before they died, to run the campaign after they succumbed to the disease.

It's not about creativity, its about the ability to make people notice and respond... sometimes creativity is a tool to accomplish that, sometimes its simply putting reality out there in a way that people will see it. I think this accomplishes that, and qualifies unquestionably as a big idea that deserved recognition.

Kudos

the copy is just the only catch, after all, nothing, simply nothing.
