Havas Johannesburg wins Gold at Loeries by inventing a new category: OOH meets Social Media
Havas JHB used this insight to craft a campaign for the charity, Right 2 Read.
The campaign helped ordinary people campaign for change at the local education department, which had suffered numerous scandals. The head of the department had said in a speech that “education in Limpopo is great” so Right 2 Read got dozens of local school children in and around the area to write down that exact phrase. In a reflection of the poor education received, these letters were spectacularly misspelled.
These were then made into posters adorned with a QR code that pedestrians could use to upload a pic of the poster to the department’s Facebook page. And they did exactly that, creating a social media storm as ordinary people were given a voice to demand the education that their children deserve.
