The Campaign

Having looked all around Poland, we found Homeless writers, prepared a selection of their works and published a book containing their documentaries, poems, stories, a play. The idea was to print this book USING A SPECIAL INK THAT REACTS TO COLD. At home you see nothing but blank pages. To read the book you have to take it outside.

Campaign Success

Soon the message of the Invisible book spread along other media. All main media nationwide spoke about the incredible experience of reading in the cold. We were present in all major TV channels, radio stations, papers and websites. Even on TEDx Warsaw! The book attracted millions of Poles. There was not a single negative comment in the internet. Not even one ! There were no haters. Everybody wanted to help.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

We also offered tangible help. The book was available at zobaczniewidzialnych.pl (on the day of the submission the second edition is almost sold). The books were auctioned at charity events and on allegro.pl. One copy was sold for 1 000 EURO! (All money was dedicated for Foundation that helps the Homeless). According to Institute of Media Monitoring, the range was 11 721 311 people, and AVE stood at PLN 1 348 656. Not bad at all. But this is just the beginning. In 2017 we will stage a play by one of the Homeless.

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

You cannot help someone you do not see. So the first step is to attract attention. The experience of reading „The Invisibles” is truly shocking. You stand under the bare sky, in the cold, and read stories of people sentenced to homelessness by life. This is the only way to understand the true meaning of the texts.

We send the book to all cultural journalists in Poland and ask them to write review. The problem was that to read the book they have to stand in the cold for hours and suffer as if they were homeless.
