Citizen engagement – Ben Ali

What could happen if you don’t vote.

Memac Ogilvy Label Tunisia conceived this outdoor stunt in the run up to the this week’s democratic elections in Tunisia. It hung a banner of ousted President Ben Ali in a Tunis suburb, to the shock of residents. When removed, the poster revealed another banner reading: ‘Beware, dictatorship can return. On Oct 23rd Vote’. The stunt was filmed and the video used as a viral, to further encourage voting.

Very effective… and here.

I’m sure you’ve all been through this…

Sometimes you may not have an idea, but you still need to make that meeting. Fortunately, now there’s an easy way to be a “rock star.”
Spin the wheel, download your concept board, and seal the deal.

It’s here..

G20 Summit Protests

I went to the G20 protests to take photos. It wasn’t as heavy handed as portrayed in the news, although there were a few bumps and grazes and unfortunately a fatality. Having said that the Police were very fired up.. I couldn’t get out at one point but got through in the end. Ironically I had a bottle of wine with Richard at Carluccio’s afterwards.

Should bankers be accoutable for what has happened, is corruption involved?
Read for yourself in Global Witness’ awesome report.

Please send this round .. I know.. I know. I shouldn’t be doing the shameless punting thing.

But we were involved in the campaign, art direction, design, film and site..
I really so think it’s one of the most revealing documents of our time (although we did really know it was going on didn’t we), now we have proof.

It’s all about perfect timing if you ask me.
