Just amazing.. not too complicated, but makes you think.

Truly great campaign! Deserved the metal (unlike ohthers:)

These are fantastic, i wonder if they actually went to Africa and shot these? It would also be interesting to see if they got paid for it too.

The goal at the end of the day is to make people
want to buy the product.

Does it really make you want to buy a handbag?

Thanks for all the comments! We are very happy with this campaign and the Silver Cannes Lion it won. And yes, it's true; we really went to Africa for the shoot. It was one of the poorest parts of Kenya and we've gotten all the help we needed from a local tribe. The people from Cordaid coordinated everything for us. Maybe nice to know: from tomorrow we are to auction off our Silver Cannes Lion. All proceeds will go to Cordaid Mensen in Nood. You can find the auction on the Adformatie website (www.adfoblog.nl). The auction starts tomorrow and will end july 4th at 12.00 pm.

I have no words.... beautiful campaign... it deserved a Gold Lion, not Silver.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Great stuff.
Hits exactly how it needs to hit.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

I like this campaign. It reminds me of Dane Cook's spiel for last year's Comic Relief (youtube it!).

Nothing gets the message across the way guilt does!

cp's picture 354 pencils

The twist is easily understood, and that's make it good, and these models look so real!
At first glance I thought it was something environmental though
