The Brief

Since 1958, the relief organisation MISEREOR has been supporting people through self-help initiatives around the world. In the battle against poverty and injustice, every single euro counts, yet donation fatigue is setting in. How can we remind people that even a small donation can have a big impact in a way that is both entertaining and innovative?

Creative Execution

A single credit card swipe through the poster donates EUR 2 to MISEREOR and triggers an interactive experience: the credit card cuts through the image of bound hands of an imprisoned Filipino child, helping him to return to a normal life. Another scenario enables you to provide the daily meal for a family in Peru: swiping the credit card cuts a slice of bread from a loaf.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

To increase people’s willingness to give, we made the donation process easier than ever. We developed the first interactive donation poster that accepts one of the most popular means of payment in the world: the credit card.

Results

Thanks to the digital posters with just a single motif, over EUR 3,000 were raised at international airports in the first month only. We made sure our posters stayed in people’s mind longer: when those who gave received their credit card bill, they were invited to turn their one-time donation into a monthly gift. Compared with the same period last year, the number of givers making three or more subsequent donations rose by 23%.
