Wildaid: Shark
No buying. No selling. No slaughter.
The actual glass in front of these posters was fractured as though a bullet had been shot through it. In the bullet hole is a coin suggesting that if you spend a cent on the illegal trade of endangered animals you may as well pull the trigger yourself.

What's the copy??? the explanation is well and all, but if it has no copy people will doubtfully understand...
I added the translation.
True. I first felt it's about a TV that gives real life experience

I think the link between shot and buying animals doesn't work.
No good enough for this site.
a little far fetched. but could be great ambient.
WRONG approach. You're dealing with a segment of society that really couldn't give a d@mn about whether or not the animal was killed - by one's own hands or anyone else's. It's a cultural thing, and though there are many Chinese who actually care about the animals, there are WAY more who don't - they only care about purported health benefits from gall bladders, fins and tusks. This campaign needs to hit from an emotional angle, not one "trying" to be clever. Only an emotive campaign that would put the viewer in the animal's skin (literally) or that makes the viewer connect with the animal and feel some pity and remorse will work - breaking through the clinical approach of animal harvesting. Undoing thousands of years of folkloric medicine is not an easy task, but this is not it.
btw - the Asiatic Bear is the one that gall bladders are bled from, not the Grizzly (Kodiak?) in the poster.
i love the fact that the actual billboard glass is fractured....makes the message that much more powerful

Simple and good.
I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?
The coin in the "bullet hole" adds an interesting, however subtle, layer.
