Clean Drinking Water: Spot The Killer - Shark

ChildFund has taken a fresh and engaging approach with its latest print campaign, "Spot the Killer," which has quickly captured the attention of local media and donors alike. This innovative campaign features Pacific Island children depicted in seemingly dangerous situations—floating in a boat surrounded by circling sharks, facing a snarling wild dog, and standing under a falling coconut. Yet, in a striking twist, the true danger is not what meets the eye.

The real threat, subtly hidden in each scene, is the contaminated tap water the children have in their drink bottles and glasses.

This creative direction highlights the often-overlooked dangers of unsafe drinking water, a critical issue in many Pacific Island communities. By juxtaposing familiar, exaggerated threats with the more insidious and everyday danger of contaminated water, ChildFund has effectively drawn attention to the urgent need for clean and safe drinking water in these vulnerable regions.

The campaign's powerful imagery and unexpected twist have resonated deeply with audiences, and the bold ‘Spot the killer’ headline was totally unexpected for the category, sparking conversations across media platforms and driving an immediate response from donors. Making it their most successful awareness campaign ever!

This innovative approach by ChildFund not only shed light on a vital cause but also demonstrated the organisation’s ability to break through the highly contested and formulaic donation-drive approach by having a message that is both impactful and unforgettable.
