Execution

Right now thousands of people are being abused, imprisoned and often tortured by their governments, simply for expressing their views, with little chance of getting home. We were tasked with creating a piece of communication that can help them get home. We needed as many Londoners as possible to react and text their support, and by doing so, signing a petition to push the governments to release them. We did this by hijacking Britain’s largest departure board at Waterloo, London’s busiest station. 5.30pm. Thousands of people trying to get home. We made them consider those who can’t. As they stood looking for their platform the departure board didn’t show the usual destinations, instead displaying the horrific journeys of those who can’t get home. They where then invited to text their support. We then sent them a microsite, with more real stories for them to share across social media.
