Seen and notedUNICEF: Game Chaingers
Between the 2nd of February and the 31st of March 2018, UNICEF and advertising agency BETC are reinventing charitable donations with the Game Changers initiative, the first humanitarian fundraising effort using the cryptocurrency Ethereum. The idea for the project stemmed from the war in Syria, which has created the largest humanitarian crisis of modern times, yet paradoxically it has received very little support. Nowadays, organisations rely more and more on charitable donations. The recruitment of donors is a huge challenge; the same people tend to be asked to give and are often approached in the same way. 71.6% of donors are over 50 years old. Game Chaingers is a new fundraising tool, the first that uses the blockchain based cryptocurrency Ethereum. This innovative solution is aimed at a new generation of givers: the 711 million gamers in the world and the eSport community, or anyone who has a large graphics card in their computer.

I'm not a fake is not only a print/outdoor campaign but also a new digital media: it's the first ever, interactive ad to use reCAPTCHA recognition technology as a communication platform. Studies showed that the purchase of fake spare parts in the Middle East was a growing problem on e-commerce sites. The same sites where reCAPTCHA recognition technology is usually used as a verification process. Instead of using random images to verify the user isn't a robot, people have to select the fake part. The campaign's being rolled out through the region, into media focusing on the automotive industry, targeting those who are either looking to buy a Volkswagen or are purchasing parts for one.
