This would be a v nice campaign except most stamps today are self-adhesive. 4 of the 5 executions in this campaign are the same idea. I think the 5th one "topple dictator" is the best one so far.
just ok...
5th one is a good start for a great cause.
I like that they have used the colour to encourage to the public to collaborate through sending their letters. Instead of mentioning the culpability, and make the spectactor feel attacked, or intead of showing shocking or negative images, here they show in a kindly way that you can help much only putting a stamp and sending a letter, and that is something that doesn't require any effort. I think is a very right campaign and it uses a very interesting tone to this kind of campaigns.

For me the best one is "Start a revolution with your tongue", because it's the one that talk to me.

TYPE ADS!!! Finally. I'm so sick of these cryptic, subtle, "look-how-clever-i-am", image based, concept ads that are taking over this industry. It's only advertising!! These work very well.
quite refreshing if you ask me.
these feel like real ads, in a good way.
i think the lines are nice- some of them very big ideas in themselves.
they would convince me to do something.
Nice thought.
Good design.
Strong words, spoken softly.
Really nice idea and more than that, effective (Something that very few advertisers aim for these days, oh look - a pretty picture).
I think this would persuede someone to get involved. Much nicer method of making a point than the standard guilt trip, give us 2 quid a week and we'll leave you alone approach.
