The Brief

The World Food Progamme is depending on fundings from governments all over the world. Fundings they are really grateful for. But in this world of terror and economic crises the governments of the world have forgotten about the 805 million people suffering from hunger in the world. Our goal was to raise awareness about this issue. And to show the governments of the world that their voters care for these people. This was a global campaign. But since it was strictly pro bono (not even Zlatan got paid) we had to reach people without using traditional media.

Campaign Success

Even though hunger is the number one risk to health worldwide, these people rarely make the front page. Zlatan may not know how to end world hunger, but he does know how to make the front page of every newspaper in the world. The first step was to post a picture on Zlatan's social media channels of one of the names tattooed on his neck. The second step was the live event (the football match) where Zlatan took off his sweater and showed 50 new names tattooed on his body. The third step was the press conference that Zlatan had the day after the game where he told the story behind the names. The fourth step was the video posted on Zlatan's social media channels. The fifth step was to get Zlatan's famous friends (David Beckham, David Luiz, Kaká, Lil Wayne, Enrique Iglesias, etc) to post the video as well.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Together with The United Nations World Food Programme, we created an event that turned the spotlight the world has on the world famous football player Zlatan Ibrahimovi?, and turned it towards some people who need it more. The event happened live during a game. After scoring a goal Zlatan Ibrahimovi? took off his sweater and revealed the 50 new names he had tattooed on his body. Names of some of the 805 million people suffering from hunger today.
