PSA - THE EASY WAY OR THE CLEVER WAY

Two recent PSA campaigns kepts me thinking yesterday. One is the Planestupid.com TV and online campaign done by Mother. Yeah the one with the polar bears getting smashed in the ground with lots of fake blood like in a gore movie. And the second is the summit on Summit campaign by Goodby Silverstein & Partners to fight the clean water crisis.

The first one chooses the easy and shortest way to impact. Do that make people really go to the URL? Honestly don´t think so. It´s beautifully shot by a great director and will win a couple of awards in Cannes, D&AD or One Show but the message itself, although based on a truth, is as useless as it can be. Easy impact had its fans in the 80´s. These are the times of the second campaing I´m about to talk to you now.
A simple idea. A groop of more or less famous people are going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya and work and update the website while climbing.
That is building a compelling experience of the Web user.
You have the feeling that you´re being part of this challenge in real time.
This is a big idea beautifully done. We´ll see the results very soon.
