The Campaign
To raise awareness for a very important cause, we created a commercial that offers a solution,
albeit an unexpected one. A film with a strong viral potential and an even stronger environmental
subtext.
The Brief
Inform the world about the disappearance of Honey Bees and get people to react to the potential
catastrophe.
Results
The discussion is now a reality.
In just a few hours, most of the important websites that deal with technology and news picked up
and relayed the story (Gizmodo, Huffington Post, Motherboard).
The debate is raging on the internet, forums, twitter : should we have robot bees or should we
preserve the planet?
The real results remain to be seen.?
Execution
A viral film done for no budget and seeded through activists, news and blog organizations.
The Situation
Since 2006, honey bees are disappearing across the world, putting at at risk crops that are worth
more than $200 billion all over the world. The 'Colony Collapse Disorder' or CCD results in the
bees suddenly fleeing their hive and ending up dead. And if CCD continues, the consequences
for the agricultural economy and even for our ability to feed ourselves could be dire.
'Currently, the survivorship of honeybee colonies is too low for us to be confident in our ability to
meet the pollination demands of U.S. agricultural crops,' a USDA report said.
The Strategy
Scientists all over the world (Harvard, Berlin), have come up with a solution.
But the question is : is this the solution we should be looking for?
To discover the solution and the potential results, please watch the film that is a presentation of
the solution.
