The Campaign

Syria Stories is a mobile snap-series from within the war zone in Syria. Filmed by people on the inside, we meet families that lack food, water and medicines. Trying to survive, they tell us bits and pieces of their stories, just enough for you to feel their need. And hopefully - donate.

Creative Execution

Built as a Snapchat experience you can navigate through the stories with your thumb on a mobile website. And most importantly - you can use it to donate to the Red Cross.

Syria Stories was one of several initiatives to get people involved in the annual fundraising event “TV-aksjonen.” All together 220 million Norwegian kroners were donated. Sms-donations were record high and 100 000 people got involved around the country.

There’s no lack of images and videos from Syria, but it all seems so far away. What if we could give people a first hand’s experience of how it is to live in a war zone? Face to face. How would our friends tell the story if they were the ones living in a there? Through the phone.
