Dear Abuser Campaign Speaks Directly To The Perpetrator
Change is desperately needed and through-the-line agency MullenLowe has recognised this. More importantly, it has recognised that a different approach is required, if we are to end the scourge of domestic violence in South Africa.
That was the basis for a partnership with Save the Children and a powerful cross-platform campaign that looks set to drive greater awareness of domestic violence in South Africa, with a particular focus on children. “Most abusers don’t listen to the people close to them, the ones whom they are harming,” says Gainsford. “They can carry out their abuse behind closed doors and avoid the consequences of their actions.”

Why ‘Brands Using Brands’ get it wrong. The ‘Win A Prize’ Dilemma
Sarah Dexter looks at brand promotions that partner with ‘other’ brands. Some leverage real insight into consumers and brand synergy, whilst others seem to offer prizes they’d like to win, or whatever they think is the “latest” thing, irrespective of the fact that it makes little sense or has little or no relation to the brand in question.
