The China Association against domestic violence is calling on people to pick up the phone and uncover domestic violence. THE SOLUTION: We used Direct Marketing as its the most effective way to reach people in their own homes. Though Direct Marketing is sometimes considered standard, we created an original way to make people pay attention by designing a very different type of envelope.

The campaign effectively prevented 2376 possible domestic violence incidents in China.
