The Campaign

Post Wisely: It’s your life, until you share it. Everything is yours, until you share it. The second you share something you lose control over it and it is now public knowledge. From there on, the person can use that information against you. From valuable purchases, to your loved ones, everything can be an arsenal to the right criminal.

Creative Execution

The content was created to have the look and feel that looks like a movie, it feels like a trailer. It was done this way to make sure people consume the content the same way they would a movie or a TV show. The film reveals someone thinking out loud. They are talking to themselves, or at least so it seems. It’s a one-sided conversation with all answers and responses growing in intensity. It is only once we are close enough we reveal that they are scrolling through someone’s social media feed.

Oversharing is a much-discussed topic today, but the consequences relating the resultant criminal activity is unspoken and ignored. Entertainment seems to be the only communications avenue left to ram this message home. With the use of cinematography and story-telling, we recreated real events in a way which appeared to be films.

We never truly know who we are talking to online. We needed to make sure that people are also seeing our content where and when they are most likely to overshare. By strategic targeting and social listening, we made sure our films and content are constantly visible.
