Walking on a minefield
A stunning guerrilla ad against landmines. Ketchup sachets that can be cut right on a boys foot, were placed between magazine pages (as a free ketchup gift). This way the boy looks like he has been mutilated, while ketchup like blood is released from inside. Very strong and perfectly made concept. The copy reads: "In 89 countries, walking on a mine is still routine" and tries to focus on the accidents that usually kids have in some countries.

This makes me ever so slightly sad to work in advertising. Important issue shoehorned into a printing op on a fucking sauce sachet. Gold boys, solid gold.
In my opinion, I don't think the fact it's printed on a "sauce sachet" makes it less important... i think it makes it stronger somehow. and by the way, i believe it did get a gold. cheers
P.S: i love giving names to my readers... so please comment with something i can put a face on (I have a great imagination) :-)
