SIRE: Marked for life
Everyone knows separation and divorce are difficult for everyone involved, however in the heat of the moment parents sometimes say things that can have serious long term effects on children. SIRE (Foundation for Idealism in Advertising) and 180 Amsterdam have made this campaign to create a new awareness about divorce, and just how harmful the effects of a 'bad' divorce can be for children. Also how these effects can last for the child's entire life, shaping their behaviour and experiences in years to come. The campaign is called "Marked for Life" and it shows how the words you say in divorce can leave a mark forever. The TV, print and website portrays young children marked by tattoos that repeat the words they overheard during their parents' conflicts.

WOW!!!! The subtitles were 100000% needed.
love the print,
but i'm a little desapointed by the film (who stay great ok, but:)
the music soften the images...
i think the real sound of words would be better.
I fond the last image, better than others, because the action in progress
shows that children can't do anything against this.
wow. i love it.
totally agree with manoma. It could be great to hear the voice of their fathers or mothers when you see the children with tatoo. no need music, just feel an atmosphere more intense.

powerful, excellent approach
very touching. it works.
Great idea
Powerful ad.
Maybe a bit of redness around the tattoo would have made it better.
Would have giving it a more recent, authentic and painful feel.
