It Starts with One


EC 10th Anniversary Communication Campaign

2010

Purpose of this campaign:

Through a global communication campaign touch hearts and move minds around the world, inspiring people individually and collectively to transform their way of thinking, becoming living examples of the Earth Charter, reflecting and acting  for all – humanity, life and “Earth".

About this campaign:

The campaign- It Starts With One - was developed by volunteers of the Communications Task Force. It refers to the idea that the change we wish to see in the world begins with each individual. The goal is to foster amongst the general public the concept of "Earth Citizenship" where the interest for the common good of the planet is above the individual.

The campaign is anchored on a 60 seconds TV spot with versions in three languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese) and was produced pro-bono by: EC Communication Agency, Santo Forte Digital as the video producer and Sonido as the audio producer. The volunteer team is completed by MI4, a media consultancy firm that planned and executed the campaign.

The creative concept includes 120 children from Casa do Zezinho - a social organization that seeks to promote culture and education among children in the Parque Santo Antonio’s community, Sao Paulo – that hold a blank sheet in their hands where is projected an animation of a just, sustainable and peaceful World. The film will be aired worldwide on April, the 22nd, in spaces donated by major international TV networks.

The campaign also features print ads donated by various magazines and newspapers as well as a radio spot, banners for the internet and out of home media.
