The Campaign

LizaAlert organization was named after 5 y.o. Liza, a little girl that was found frozen to death in a forest. She has died because help came too late. LizaAlert finds missing people. LizaAlert has became a legend but they still face a great problem.

The Brief

In case of a missing person: to make people call as soon as possible.

Results

“To delay means to kill” activation was seen by more than 500 000 people. I has shocked people and publicity exploded: more than 27 mln. people reached. Number of timely calls increased by 50%, that almost doubled the number of people found being alive. At last, the Russian Parliament is examining a bill binding the police to begin an active search within three hours after a person has been declared missing.

Execution

We’ve made a special outdoor monument in the center of Moscow. 4 meters high sand clocks with earth in the upper side and a vinyl girl under it. Earth began to pour over the head of a child. Within 3 days the girl was buried 50%.

The Situation

Since Soviet times people wait to report a missing person until the third day! However, a 3 day delay means 50% of missing people will die.

The Strategy

To make people experience the shocking truth: to delay means to kill.
