Lasinen Lapsuus: Bottle
Average: 8 (77 votes)

I was shocked to hear that after only a couple of drinks my child doesn't know me anymore. In my own eyes I'm just starting to be tipsy, but Niko thinks I've become another person. Mama is gone and he's left alone.

The Fragile Childhood activity has begun in 1986 and has been established as
a well-known form of activity in Finland. Its goal is to help children who
suffer from parental alcohol misuse.

For some reason, I love this one the most. It's very powerful. It's like the child has been "abandoned" or "forgotten" outside on the street, in the dark (while the parent's inside drinking)

I love the look, I think the message lacks something. Its like I was expecting a much better text in such a beautiful design.

Great series. While I am not crazy about the type, I do give kudos for the ads having more than three words of copy.

Someone's provided an English translation. I am sure the copy reads better in Finnish. We have similar "lost in translation" issues with other campaigns too.

Nice art. But the copy is rambling.

Great insight! The people won't stop drinking if they just do it. But if they have children maybe they will. I stopped smoking when I understood that my wife was pregnant. That is why I believe that this campaign will work little. Little because the drinking is a too bad vice.

Alcohol abuse is a well known problem in Finland, and the way these ads communicate is absolutely amazing. The agency could have gone a much simpler (as in bad) way.Fantastic!

This entire series targets a great insight that anyone who has had a few too many can understand. A lot of people have no idea who they become after a few drinks. Nice work.
