The Danish Designer

This Fuck the poor – campaign makes us look like fools! It shows how well a campaign can speak to us through video but not as much when it actually happens on the street right in front of us. It’s almost sarcastic that the end of the video shows us how we ignore something unpleasant and something we see every day. But if something is different or annoys us we speak up… This is what all successful ads and campaigns should do: Make it clear by doing something different than others.

Let me know what you think of the video – does it move your opinion of others and yourself?

Forsman & Bodenfors has made a new campaign for the Danish television channel DR2 about political issues. They are very well made and has some seriously important morals/points. I think the videos are spot on!

This is what Forsman & Bodenfors wrote about the project:

“When Danish national television set out to relaunch their channel DR2, they wanted to launch it as as the debate center. A channel that’s not afraid to raise controversial issues.

So for the launch campaign we found three topics that aimed to spark debate among the Danes. Then we created three film trailers around them. At the same time a web page for DR2 was launched where the different topics were discussed. The debate also took place on Facebook and on Twitter.

The film trailers ran in the non commercial channels DR1 and DR2. And, of course, on the web.”
