Successful public-service campaign
The campaign that DDB developed for the SIRE public-service organization has proven to be very successful. With its new campaign, SIRE wanted to draw attention to the importance of foster parents. DDB translated this into the theme “You cannot expect a child to raise itself when its parents cannot”. The theme was communicated through print ads, bus-shelter posters, radio and TV ads and even a children’s song by the popular “Kinderen voor kinderen” project (Children for children). The results: last year, the Dutch Foster Parenting Organization sent out information to 40% more interested families than in the previous year. The campaign generated 1,150 new addresses where foster children could find a temporary home.
