Write a short summary of what happens in the digital or ambient execution or campaign.

We detected the lakes with the most devastating water loss. Researched the topography and turned them into custom made glasses. 5 lakes, 5 glasses. 22nd of March is the World Water Day. But for Turkey it’s also the day of our biggest economic forum, the Davos of the Middle East. The event where the top politicians, economists, businessman and most importantly the press is present with full attention. And we hacked the event. The glasses were placed on speakers’ desks all across while being spread out through the event venue. It was a perfect chance to reach almost everyone with influence. Our glasses helped us to engage our message with CEOs, politicians, academics, media moguls even foreign investors.

We knew that if we show people evidences of the problem, we could build an influence to make them change their behaviors. So, we did. We demonstrated most alarming evidence of drought. Our drying lakes. We collected their data from annual reports revealed by the government and news. 22nd of March is the World Water Day.
