The Campaign

Over 100 different gifs to raise awareness regarding the terrible loop in which homeless people live in and to ask for help. The creative idea is based on the fact that living on the street is living in a continuous loop of despair. In that sense, ARRELS FOUNDATION invites you to collaborate in breaking that loop by sharing, making a donation or signing up as a volunteer. When you share it, the loop is unblocked and the GIF has an ending which enables you to act and join the cause.

Nowadays, GIFs are the stars of internet. A format which consists in the constant repetition of a same situation. In 2015, Giphy reached 150 million unique users a month, it is valued at 300 million and has deals with over 200 brands. In just five months, Tinder was used over 25 million times. And according to Twitter, over 100 million GIFs have been shared this year. GIFs are used for everything. Can they be used to raise awareness? Can this format be used to reach a younger target that can help on many occasions despite not having the economic resources to do so? Yes, with #TheFuckingGif you can. The pieces allow us to escape our routines which avoid us from being aware of the problem that homelessness represents and thereby help them from escaping their own loop.

The first animated GIF that, besides being attractive so that it is shared, serves a solidary purpose. This project makes the most of a clear tendency which is the standout format on internet amongst youngsters, which are GIFs that are shared, to denounce a social problem and gain support for the cause.
