    Fred & Farid Rolls Out Concern Worldwide’s #UnfortunatelyFakeNews Ad Campaign To Help End Extreme Poverty 

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments2316 Views

    In an advertising campaign titled #UnfortunatelyFakeNews created and produced by Fred & Farid’s Los Angeles shop, Concern Worldwide will launch over 50 fake news headlines that report on real, tangible things the wealthiest, most powerful entities could do to end extreme poverty.

    Example: “SPACE CAN WAIT. BILLIONAIRE PUTS PASSION PROJECT ON HOLD. REDIRECTS BILLIONS TOWARDS ENDING EXTREME POVERTY.” 

    Utilizing language, sentence structure, typography, and layout design, typical of a reputable newspaper or major news network, each headline appears to be real, until the following is revealed: #UnfortunatelyFakeNews. Until it’s real, please donate. 

    The campaign includes these newscaster segments, featuring anchors and authentic network graphics and music, which will disseminate #UnfortunatelyFakeNews in video pre roll.  Director was Henry Israelson via production house Ways & Means.

    In effect, Concern–which has been on a 50+ year mission to end extreme poverty–is pointing out the unjust disparity between the ultra-wealthy and more than 800 million people living on less than $1.90 per day. Beyond that, Concern is calling out the individuals who are best equipped to make a difference… and ultimately exposing the undeniable truth that, with so much wealth in the world today, there is no reason (and no excuse) for extreme poverty to exist. 

    This is Concern’s first-ever U.S. advertising campaign.

    Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker

    Thursday, December 19, 2024

    Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
