The Coalition for Gun Control has launched a new project to show how gun violence touches every corner of Toronto, the fourth largest city in North America. And one that has seen a major rise in gun violence over the past year. The project, titled Dodge the Bullet, uses geo-location technology to show how many meters away residents of the city of Toronto were from an actual shooting. The project taps into the Toronto Police Services’ API of shootings and homicide data to create an interactive map that shows every user how close they are, or have been, to a shooting. The campaign’s goal is to turn that data into a digital experience that creates a personal connection between every Torontonian and the rise in gun violence in their city. By visiting dodgethebullet.ca, the experience explains to users that even though they “Dodged a Bullet,” they shouldn’t “Dodge the Issue” of gun control in Canada. From there, the web app directs them to sign the Coalition’s most recent petition on the House of Commons website.

URL: www.facebook.com/onceagainbangalore Brief: Once Again is a Bangalore-based NGO that follows a unique model where it accepts donations only in the form of old items, not money. and tagged ‘Once Again’ to things worth donating – shoes, toys, clothes, furniture, books, etc. When the friend received the notification of the tagged picture, It gained visibility on social media, received prominent coverage in leading media publications and went on to become Bangalore’s biggest tagging drive. It collects items people don’t use anymore, sells them at a minimal price to the underprivileged and uses this money for the empowerment of their community – supporting a crèche for their children, providing vocational training to women and computer training to young adults. The brief was to make the NGO recognizable and maximize donations to support its activities. The challenge was to accomplish this with no budgets in hand. Strategy: We noticed that the youth were passionate about making a difference to their surroundings, but saw charity as a boring, guilt-driven moral obligation. We used Facebook – a place where they hang out everyday - to involve them in this cause, by making the act of donating fun and engaging. Creative Execution: We created The Tagging Drive, an online donation drive on Facebook. We started with a team of Facebook volunteers, who revisited their friends’ old pictures curiosity prompted them to click on it. It led them to the Once Again Facebook page where they read the message, “You’ve been tagged to remind you that someone, somewhere needs your old stuff more than you. Please donate.” The page also invited them to become Facebook volunteers and spread the word by tagging their friends. The Results: The tags created curiosity and thousands were directed to the Once Again page. The campaign went viral with friends tagging friends. In a matter of a few months, thousands of pictures were tagged and several donation drives initiated. Once Again collected over ten thousand items for sale at their thrift shop, giving the underprivileged an access to goods they couldn’t afford otherwise. The monies generated from the sale of these goods increased by 462%, which is being recycled to support its activities. And it all started with a tag.

The New Volvo S90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid is a premium sedan that defies the conventions of all electric cars in its class. Equipped with Volvo’s intelligent T8 Twin Engine, it generates 407 horse power to provide a V8-like performance, yet with far more fuel-efficiency and far less carbon emissions, while having zero-emissions capabilities on Pure electric mode. As the S90 T8 was expected to arrive during the peak of the thunderstorm season in Thailand, Volvo Car Thailand and GREYnJ United seized the opportunity for an unconventional campaign that paralleled the car’s uncompromising power to the most powerful, yet purest, form of electrical power on Earth. At the core of it, was the first-of-its-kind “Volvo Lightning-Powered Billboard” – a giant billboard with the exceptional ability to entice a lightning strike. In collaboration with the engineers from Macco Group, the billboard was fitted with custom-engineered lightning rods, designed to create a world-first spectacle of pure power whenever a thunderstorm occurred above. Data collected from the meteorological department allowed the tech team to monitor the approach of a thunderstorm to the billboard, and with the help of multiple cameras and infra-red sensors, consumers could witness the unique electrical phenomenon on Volvo Cars Thailand Facebook page.

"Distracted driving" is what they call it. It's a treacherous innocuous name – meant to cover anything from taking your eyes off the road to check your baby hasn’t chocked on his pacifier, right down to taking your eyes off the road to scroll down your Facebook feed and check who's liked your latest profile pic. And let's be honest, that happens way more often than anything else. But worst of all it's killing people. Lots of them. That's why Mazda decided to launch a new campaign: smack in the middle of people's social feed, right as they were scrolling down it.

People are generally unaware about psychological abuse: 1 of 2 Ukrainians unable to recognize manifestations of psychological violence according to InMind research for UNICEF Ukraine. However, 75% of children in Ukraine are regularly subjected to violent discipline, as well as 1 100 000 Ukrainian women are facing domestic violence every year. Anti-violence campaigns in Ukraine have usually targeted victims of physical abuse, rarely – the abusers themselves. Thought, the domestic violence situation hasn’t got any better. Striving to make a positive impact we went to the problem’s roots: psychological abuse. We aimed at engaging with everyone, since anyone can be a victim, an abuser or a witness of psychological violence during their lifetime. Violence triggers people, and while trying to stop psychological violence having no idea of how to do it properly, many people start fighting it, practicing and provoking even more violence. We decided not to fight, but to talk against violence. In order to motivate people to have a talk with their families, and thus not to let violence in their relations in future we did a real neuroscience experiment to show people what psychological violence is and why it is so destructive for people.
