Results and Effectiveness

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%.

Creative Execution

The Social Swipe is a media-based donation method which triggers an interactive experience: when a credit card is swiped through the poster it cuts through the 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.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Since 1958, the relief organisation MISEREOR has been supporting people through self-help initiatives around the world. In the fight against poverty and injustice, every single euro counts, yet donation fatigue is setting in. How can it be shown in an innovative way that even a small donation can have a big impact? To overcome this hurdle, we developed an entirely new medium for giving: the Social Swipe – the first poster that accepts credit cards.
